NC 60 59 Blade portion (surviving length 41mm) of what appears to have been a small Early Bronze Age axehead of uncertain original overall form; the sharply defined break edge and marked lengthways distortion of the profile strongly suggest that the axehead has been deliberately snapped. Although matrices for diminutive axeheads or chisels are a feature of Early Bronze Age stone moulds, actual examples are relatively uncommon finds.
Claimed as Treasure Trove (TT 15/13), allocated to Strathnaver Museum
