This is a bronze socketed axe with three vertical parallel ribs and two edge-ribs on each face and a hexagonal body-section.The socket mouth has a flared, trumpet-shaped collar that tapers in and steps slightly onto the upper blade. The ribs descend from the base of this collar moulding and extends about a third down each face of the axe. The sides of the axe diverge slightly and flare at the lower blade to form a curved cutting edge. This cutting edge is chipped and fragmentary, but appears to have been prepared for use and worked. The axe is covered in a thick, dark brown patina. The axe can be classed as a Southern English (Class B) type.
