Description: | An incomplete stone Neolithic polished axehead (c.4000-c.2200 BC). The axehead is greenish grey in colour, with red striations. The axehead has plough damage at the butt and the cutting edge, but is otherwise undamaged. The axehead tapers towards the butt and has a vesica-shaped (pointed oval) cross-section. Both edges are faceted. This feature and the material the axe is made from suggest that the axe probably comes from the Great Langdale axe factory (in the Lake District).
