Simple awls or tools like this were used to make holes in leather and wood. Their form changes little from the Bronze Age to Medieval periods and they are consequently very difficult to date.

The retention of wood within the socket of this axehead is exceptionally rare and made possibly only by localised anaerobic preservation in a waterlogged context (possibly a ditch fill). These conditions have further resulted in poor preservation of the metal.

A small cast copper alloy fragment, probably from the butt end of an early to middle Bronze Age copper alloy flanged or palstave axehead. The side profile tapers to the rear edge, which is straight, with rounded corners.

The broken edge across the width of the object exposes vesicles from the casting which may have been a weak point for the break.
