Amgueddfa Cymru – Museum Wales
Slightly thickened towards the middle and with a thin rounded butt and pitted surface. Brown-grey patina. The axe is now part of a replica of a hafted flint axe, with a modern wooden haft.
Site Name: Usk, Monmouthshire
Notes: found in the neighbourhood of Usk. There is a pencilled note on the accession card with a quote from a letter received by John Ward (no date mentioned) stating that the axe was "ploughed up on a farm at Llantrisant". Ward apparently quoted from this letter in something called 'Museum Notes' MS p2. This and the original correspondence may be in the Ward papers held in the Library.
