Full Description

Stone axe from Kenny Hill petrologically identified as greenstone (S1). Part of a scatter including a fabricator, a slug knife, a flake and a barbed arrowhead. Described as `a rough ground axe/adze or celt of stone from Kenny Hill, Mildenhall', however the entry appears to be somewhat confused with material clearly from Santon, Norfolk - see (S2).

Formerly recorded as MNL MISC
