Context (CMS Context)
Donated by Laureen Holliman, daughter of finder Brian Denson, who died 14 August 2001. Note written by Mary D. 'Craster c.1984 reads "Two (see also 2004.193) very nice Neolithic axe-heads dating from about 3000 B.C. - so nothing to do with the Roman site. Both would have had wooden handles. The polished one is stone from outside our area - almost certainly Great Langdale in Cumbria."
