Early Hand Axe from Bournemouth

Hello

I thought I would show you the hand axe I found last year while walking the dog on a local golf course here in Bournemouth.

It was lying in the bottom of a freshly re-excavated drainage ditch, around three feet deep, amongst newly exposed Pleistocene gravels.














Thanks for looking

Very nice, you lucky swine! Looks like it's been rolled around for quite some time before ending up in the gravel. As we say locally: " Thas roight old"

Lucky sod, big too. Is the tip broken off?

there's a good hand axe type guide here.
