County: North Yorkshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy axe of probable medieval date, c.AD 1200 - 1500. The head of the axe is sub-trapezoidal, flaring slightly to the cutting edge, and flattened due to damage at the butt end. An integral circular sectioned shaft projects from the head tapering from a wide butt end to a rounded point atop the axe head. The metal has a light brown/white patina and is worn. The object is 38.7mm long, 23.2mm wide, 8.3mm thick and weighs 29.5g.
