axehead; socketed
Description
Small socketed axe of Late Bronze Age type. Surface partly corroded, no decoration. There is a slight ridge at the mouth, which is ovoid but does not have a cordon. The seam is prominent behind the loop, but worn elsewhere. The cutting edge is much battered, especially at its upper edge. The surface is little patinated and there are two main areas of corrosion, where the surface had greatly deteriorated before discovery.
Found in the front garden of the South Lodge at Carronvale House in 1952.
