Full Description
Found in about 1937.
Dredged from River Waveney and dumped on river bank on Outney Common, Bungay.
Socketed axe with decoration on faces consisting of vertical ribs and circles below two horizontal mouldings.
See (S1). The plate in this article shows 'two celts'. These are probably two views of the same axe, especially as only one is mentioned in the text.
