English: In 1984 a Founders Hoard of late Bronze Age metal work was unearthed. The Hoard consisted of eight objects. Two of the objects join together to form what could be part of a bronze bowl or caldron; however the piece could simply be a fragment of metal working debris.

The Hoard consists of the following: 1) A fragment of a socketed axe SUSS-8F4D33 (found within the metal detectorists collection - it was not kept with the rest of the hoard, but is likely to be from the same find site, the detectorist is deceased). 2) Two fragments of a bronze bowl or caldron or possibly metal working debris SUSS-8F4883 3) A small socketed chisel blade SUSS-8F4080 4) Metal working debris SUSS-8F14C2 5) A socketed axe SUSS-8F0734 6) A socketed axe SUSS-8F00C6 7) A small gouge SUSS-8EC013

A small fragment of a late Bronze Age, socketed axe dating from 1150 – 800 BC. The axe may have been found within a hoard context (see detail above). Due to this fact the axe was not conserved with the rest of the hoard. Only a small part of the axe survives. The surface is worn and heavily corroded; some of the original surface does survive.

The mouth of the socket and the lower blade have both been completely removed by breaks, leaving behind the middle body section of the axe. The breaks are corroded.

The socket has a sub-rectangular mouth and measures 28.56 x 17.92 mm (externally). The body tapers outwards towards the lower blade. No casting flash lines are visible. The broken blade terminal measures 36.78 x 7.79mm.
