Copper alloy low-flanged axe. This bronze Early Bronze Age flanged axe has a long slender body with near parallel sides, which suddenly expand widely, to produce a crescentic shaped blade and asymmetric cutting edge. The butt end of the axe has been slightly damaged in antiquity and therefore the original shape is not apparent. Part way down the body of the axe is a median bevel, whilst the sides of the axe are rounded. Surface pitting on these sides precludes the possibility of knowing whether or not they were once decorated. Both faces of the axe were once decorated, although mos…

Incomplete Early Bronze Age bronze developed flat axe (or flanged axe), probably of Class 4E (following Needham forthcoming), corresponding with Schmidt and Burgess' (1981) type Bandon and with Type Derryniggin (Harbison 1969) in Ireland. Axes of these types date towards the end of the Early Bronze Age: Needham's (1996) Period 3 c.1950 - 1700 BC/Needham et al.'s (1997) Willerby phase. The axehead is eroded with very little of the original surface surviving, making it difficult to determine whether the axe is broken or complete. The axe is now comparatively small with an overall sur…

Cast lead weight possibly a line fishing weight similar to those used in Viking Dublin (Wallace 1999). The weight resembles a Dublin type 1 or 2 (ibid.), the piece does not have perforations at either end, as would be required for a hand fishing line, although there are suggestions of marks at these points. The weight may be a counter weight from a tool such as a woodworking plane, possibly of 19th century date. The weight has a flat base with domed top at the centre and flat ends.
