Found in April 2021 while metal detecting on cultivated land. The finder is to be highly commended for ceasing detecting after the discovery of the uppermost two axes, at which point he sought archaeological assistance. The FLO attended, accompanied by Michael Trevarthen who supervised the excavation of the findspot. There were then discovered a further fifteen axeheads arranged very deliberately, carefully placed one upon another. Their formation strongly suggested that they were originally placed in a soft yet firm container, possibly a basket. A full excavation report is to follow. …
