Object: Palstave
Period: Bronze Age
Collection: British Museum,POA 57,(Continued)
Year of discovery: NA
Remarks: Circumstances: only support for this at present in the comparison between POA 87 and the 'Axholm' hoard palstave illustrated by Banks (b) - both in general stype and length (6 1/2 inches). Banks, and formerly Stukeley, had in fact mistaken the provenance of the hoard known as 'Isle of Axholm' which was found before 1847 by the servants of Mr. G. Healey while digging for firewood on Burringham Moor, in Burringham parish, on the opposite seide of the Trent (c)
