English: A large handaxe of a white-grey flint, with some iron staining patches, notably a circle of iron stain residue which has formed a ring on the dorsal face. There appears to be some cortex remaining on the ventral face, in addition to areas where a dark, almost black colour is visible in the flint itself. The distal end is very flat, and appears to have been smoothed or polished to obtain an almost shiny finish. Knapping marks remain visible along both cutting edges. The axe is suggested to be of Lower Palaeolithic date, as it presents a very angular shape as opposed to the rounded profiles found in later prehistory. A relatively similar parallel may be found in Bond (2004, 75; Fig. i) and a diagram in the same volume (2004, 70; Fig. 5.55) describes the form as 'lingulate', typical of the Middle Acheulean.
