Late Bronze Age bronze socketed axe
A looped socketed axe, which has a sub-rectangular socket with a double moulding around the mouth. It has parallel sides which expand into a crescentic cutting edge. Decorated with three parallel ribs which hang from the lower, and less substantial, moulding. Loop is large and prominent. The axe still retained the charred stump of a whittled willow haft, wedged into the socket with what appeared to be unburnt strips of wood or bark.
