A fragment of late Middle to early Late Bronze Age end winged axehead with side loop dating c. 1150-800 cal BC. Only the central section survives with an incomplete side loop and wings. The butt end terminates in worn break with an 'H' shaped cross section; the tips of the flanges turning inwards at 90 degrees to create wings forming a proto-socket each side of the septum. The edges of the flanges are worn and incomplete. The blade is missing, with a worn break just below the socket with a rectangular cross section. The loop (20.5mm long; 7.8mm wide; 7.3mm high); is …

An incomplete late Bronze Age copper-alloy end-winged axe. Sub-rectangular in plan with butt, side loop folded wings and crescentic cutting edge. The butt end and most of the wings are missing. The damaged butt end is 25.34mm wide and 20.14mm thick. Casting seams are faintly visible along the centre of each side. The small surviving sections of the wings suggest that both are C-shaped in cross-section with their ends turned inwards. The lower face and blade flare outwards before reaching a narrow crescentic cutting edge which is very abraded. The blade is 37.95mm wide an…
