Record ID: LVPL-BE80A5
Object type: AXE
Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Lancashire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Cast blade of an iron axe, the socket end is missing from an old break and the blade is highly corroded. It is rectangular in cross section and triangular in plan. It is quite a small axe and very thick, 22.34mm. Axes do not change a great deal between the Roman and Modern periods and features that can suggest more precise dating, such as the socket shape and the way the blade joins the socket, are missing in this example.
