A late Bronze Age socketed incomplete axe head (1150-800BC). The fragment comprises the blade and part of the body. The axe head is hollow to a depth of 17.35mm (approximately half way down its length). The blade expands and there are blade tip hollows to either side. There are no traces of hammer or file marks along the blade suggesting this axe was never sharpened.<\/p>

Dimensions: length: 51.48mm; blade width: 59.08mm; width of body: 39.75mm; thickness: 22.49mm; weight: 133.47g.
