Find Spot record 2044 - Bronze Age Axe Fragment from Malpas

<1> County Historic Environment Record, 1973-1985, Cheshire Archaeological Bulletin, No.9 p.98 (Journal/Periodical). SCH565.

Fragment of cast bronze recognisable as part of a very small flat axe of Early Bronze Age type. The butt end is missing and much of the cutting edge. The remaining proportions suggest an axe c.70 mm long x 40 mm at its greatest width. Several other pieces of bronze of varying age, some recent, have been recovered from the same general area suggesting a hoard of scrap metal. The axe may well be intrusive into the Malpas area.
