Full Description
`An unpolished, (?probably original polished surface lost) greenstone axe, flecked with quartz, 5 inches long, found in North Fen' (S1)(R1). Petrologically identified (no. S99) and placed in Group I - uralitized gabbro from Penzance district (S2)(S3)(S4)(S6).
For further Neo & Prehistoric artefacts in same locality, see LKH 002, 083 & 084 and LKH Misc Neo.
This may be same as `Fine polished axe Oct 57 Mr Gathercole' transcribed on 6 inch record map by A R Edwardson at (see 'Not to be published on web' tab for finder/s and/or findspot/s) (S5), however this probably relates to LKH 002.
