A complete flint Acheulian handaxe dating to the Lower Palaeolithic. The axe is 'ovate' in form. The butt and tip are both approximately U shaped in plan but the tip is slightly more pointed. It has moderately straight, battered edges. Both faces are covered in removals and each becomes more convex nearer the butt. The flint is very variable in colour due to both patination and zoning within the flint. The main colour varies between a dark grey and a pale yellow grey. The patches are a pale yellow brown and an area of patination near the butt is white and has been stained by iron
