Full Description
July 1990. Stray Find.
A stone implement was recovered from a flower bed in the front garden of the fifth house on the left (fourth semi-detached house) in Beech Road, New Beetley when coming from main road. It had been noted in the garden, slowly emerging from the soil for some weeks. The item was identified as a shaft-hole implement with an hour-glass perforation of brownish-white stone (124mm x 67mm, perforation 43mm maximum width). It could be described as large macehead or a small battleaxe. One end is much battered, suggesting use as hammer.
See drawing (S1).
E. Rose (NAU), 31 July 1990.
