A fragment of a polished Neolithic Axe head c. 4000- 2200 BC crafted from mottled grey flint. The flint fragment is bi-faced and flaked along one edge suggesting that it has had a secondary use as a knife. The piece of flint has been in a fire at some time, probably in antiquity as there is evidence of fire cracking, which may have resulted in the piece having broken up through time.
