Late Bronze Age bronze socketed axe
Plain socketed axe similar to South Eastern type axes.(Schmidt and Burgess, 1981, 204-211) It has a flaring, trumpet shaped mouth with an ill-defined moulding. There is a trace of a narrower faint moulding beneath with the loop springing from it. It has a slender, slightly waisted body expanding to a worn, rounded blade. Information taken from Wear (forthcoming). This axe is morphologically similar to examples from the Petters hoard (Needham, 1990) with its deep front-back mouth and slender body but has rounded rather than angular face edges. An axe found at Llansilin, Denbighshire has similar mouldings and slender form (Savory, 1980, no.185).
