Find Spot record MDR4663 - Neolithic Stone Axe, Mount Pleasant, Belper

SK 341 485. A Neolithic polished stone axe, re-shaped at a later date by flaking both long edges, was found at a depth of one foot in garden soil. (1) Petrological examination of the Neolithic axe from Blackbrook, Belper, SK 341 485, DbM 76.48 shows it to be of Group 1 type (Cornwall). [It is uncertain whether the axe subjected to petrological analysis was the Mount Pleasant, Belper axe [SMR 17001] or the Plains Lane, Blackbrook, Belper axe [SMR 17005]. The national grid reference given by Authority 2 matches that for the Mount Pleasant axe, but the details for locality and museum collection match those for the Plains Lane, Blackbrook axe.] (2) Listed in survey.
