The axe is oval in plan, pointed oval in cross-section and has a flat striking platform at the base. Both sides display flake scars that generally run from the edge inwards. One side has three broad and long flake scars that run from the striking platform to just below the apex. The majority of these flake scars display a rust-orange colour patina. The flint is mottled cream colour. The striking platform is roughly lozenge shaped and measures 38mm x 17mm. Such hand axes were in widespread use from c.600,000 to 245,000 years ago in Britain although most finds date from 500-300,000 years ago corresponding to a period of warmer climate. They were produced by the hominid species Homo heidelbergensis. It has been suggested ovate hand axes were used more for cutting like a knife rather than as an axe.

The axe is ovate in plan and pointed-oval in cross-section. The handaxe has a cream-coloured patina with patches of orange-brown coloured patina along many of the flake ridges. The tip of the axe is missing, having been broken in antiquity. The axe is smooth and rolled. The axe was discovered on the beach at Stokes Bay, Gosport, circa 1987. Along that stretch of coast there are eroding river gravel deposts from the former River Solent, so it is likely that this has been eroded out of one of the river terraces.

The dorsal surface has circa 30% cortex at the proximal end, however this may be re-cortification, since the layer is very thin and almost translucent. The edges and distal end have suffered damage. The surface is fairly smooth and appears polished in places. Although there is no doubt as to the findspot of the axe, there is doubt over whether it is from this location originally. There are two factors that cast doubt; the first is that the find is from Holbeach, which due to its location in the wash has seen tremendous silting since Roman times. Any material earlier than Roman would be expected to be buried very deep. Secondly, at the other end of the field, some 70m away, the finder discovered a fossil on the reverse of which were the letters 'P30'. This find may indicate that the axe formed part of collection that has been disposed of in fairly recent times. Palaeolithic hand axe from a mottled mid-brown flint.
