A complete, early Bronze Age flat axehead dating from 2150 – 1500 BC. The axe survives in poor condition and is cast in copper alloy, which is heavily pitted on one side. The axe has a mid greenish-brown patina. The butt of the axe is thin, measuring 24.2mm wide and 2.9mm thick. The sides of the butt end are rounded. Low flanges run from the butt ends, tapering off to the blade tips. The main body of the axe tapers into the blade proper. The lower blade is badly corroded and so much of the cutting edge has been lost or damaged. The blade tips are also damaged. The width of the tips m…

A small copper-alloy flat axehead in an early Bronze Age style. The axe is possibly a chisel axe used for fine carpentry work, but is could also be votive. The axe tapers outwards to the blade edge and has a rounded butt end. Both surfaces are slightly curved with straight edges. In profile the axe has a thin butt, which thickens slightly towards the main body and then thins again at the blade. The metal is mottled mid greyish-green in colour and heavily pitted. There are no signs of re-working.
