Circumstances of Discovery
In August 2011, a group of three prehistoric copper alloy objects were found in West Yorkshire. All three objects were socketed axeheads of Late Bronze Age date, dispersed by ploughing. Two of the axes (Nos. 2 & 3) were found within 0.3m of each other. A further axe (No. 1) was found further away (c.5-15m distant).
Note on subsequent fieldwork (December 2012): A small scale excavation of the findspot and further systematic metal detecting survey was conducted in December 2012. This did not reveal any further finds of comparable date. The excavation did no…

Record ID: SWYOR-BBEF23
Object type: FLANGED AXEHEAD
Broad period: BRONZE AGE
County: Kirklees
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete copper alloy Bronze Age axehead. It would have originally tapered off to a thinner butt. The blade is significantly flared, however the shape of the side flanges cannot be determined due to the break. It measures 68.59mm x 58.76mm x 13.65mm, weighing 174.91g. The axe seems to fall into class IV of Needham's chronology. It may possibly belong to the Arreton group; dating from circa 1700-1500BC (S. Needham, 2004, unpublished), though with only the blade to work from it is difficult to assign a confident date. The surface of the axe is green, pitted and corroded, with a …
