A trimmed flint flake and the cutting end of a broken polished flint axe were picked out from spoil taken from the River Beult during cleaning. Although slightly chipped, the axe had originally been the shape of an expanding wedge, the top and bottom being ground flat in what seems an obvious attempt to imitate the earliest cast bronze axes. Length of fragment 7.5 cm, width 5.7 cm and 2.5 cm thick.
