A fragment from a copper-alloy socketed axehead of Bronze Age date. Only the socket end of the axe remains, and it has post-depositional damage. It is broadly trapezoidal in shape, and is hollow. At the socket end the rim in thickened. Along one outer edge is the remains of a longitudinal casting seam.There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (SF-CA59D7).

A fragment of a copper-alloy late Bronze Age socketed axehead. Only the blade end and a small amount of the socket survive. The blade curves gently outwards while its sides curve inwards slightly towards the butt end. The break across the inner end is irregular and well worn. A rectangular indentation in the centre of the break represents all that is left of the inner part of the original socket. The surface of the metal is corroded in places. Only a broad late Bronze Age date can be suggested due to the lack of diagnostic features. Length: 39.33mm, width: 39.56mm, thi…

A fragment of a copper alloy late Bronze Age socketed axe. The fragment comes from the outer rim of the socket. Part of a straight side, curving very slightly at one edge. The outer face is decorated with a raised transverse ridge c.12.5mm behind the edge of the socket. The edge of a longitudinal casting seam can be seen behind the break to one side. The surface of the metal is corroded and the breaks are well worn. The socketed form of the axe suggests a late Bronze Age date c.1150-c.800 BC. Without further diagnostic features it is difficult to assign the fragment to a specific…
