The find consists of the body and blade of a socketed axehead: the moulding around the mouth of the axehead has broken off, and therefore cannot be used to date the artefact more closely. The mouth is sub-rectangular and measures 24.66mm wide and 15.55mm thick externally. The total remaining socket depth is approximately 29.15mm. The body of the axehead widens gradually, and has smooth faces and sides, with no prominent face edges or casting seams. The blade width is 37.55mm and there is no blade tip expansion beyond this. The cutting edge has not been bevelled. The axehead is in good condition, and has a uniform pale olive green patina. Dimensions: length: 62.63mm; width: 37.55mm; thickness: 15.55mm; weight: 94.42g.

From the flat butt of this palstave there is an expanded flange on each side that extend 70mm down the length towards the cutting edge. In between the two flanges is a flat groove ‘septum’ with a stop ridge across the width where the ends of the prongs of the wooden handle would rest to haft the palstave to the handle. The stop ridge prevents the butt of the palstave from splitting the handle. Just below the stop ridge at the top of the blade is a semi-circular ridge with central double ribs forming a ‘shield-pattern’. The blade then expands to the curved cutting edge which is bevelled for sharpness. The copper alloy has a rough mid-pale green patina; there is some surface and edge damage. This palstave is very similar to examples from the “Acton Park” axe-industry that emerged at the beginning of the Middle Bronze Age in north Wales (Savory 1980:45-6).

The blade fragment has a lozenge-shaped cross-section and it narrows in width from 24.79mm – 16.33mm. The fragment is very abraded and the majority of the surface is pitted and lost. The breaks have the same dark green patina as the rest of the object, suggesting the blade was broken in antiquity.
