Slightly brown stained unpolished flaked axehead with a modern chip showing a grey flint core. Slightly plano-convex in form with all-over working could be of Mesolithic or Neolithic date.

Probably Mesolithic, as suggested by the tranchet edge, although the shallow cross-section could possibly suggest a Neolithic date.

The tool has been shaped by removal or large scalar flakes around the edge on both sides. Down the centre of one side is a large area of creamy cortex covering c.40% of the face. On the other some flakes have been removed in the centre, adjacent to the break. One at least appears to have been removed after the break or possibly as part of the break, it is not clear if damage to this area could be f…
