Obelix Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I think I found one today in the Peaks. Well I'm not sure I did.. let me explain. I tripped over a root whilst walking up near Stanage, and managed to land my knee right on a nice sharp ridge of rock. I said a few Rude Words after that it must be said, mainly because I was leaking copiously. I've just realised why the shape of the rock looked so familiar and why I remembered just now. I was busy at the time stopping the leak so didn't realise but I'm certain that said rock was a shaped neolithinc hand axe.. rounded one end, flaked and pointed at the other.... Going to have to go back to look for it now. Wonder if I can follow the trail I left coming out, I can't remember where the thing was exactly. Anyone else ever found anything like this around Sheffield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obelix Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 No, it's just prudent being that I don't know you from Adam, that the anti fracking movement in general are not above using violence and you appear to have an exceedingly low opinion of me. I'll post a picture if I find it for you though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll post a picture if I find it for you though. Yes please, and if you manage to pin down the location a note to the Peak Park archaeology team would be appreciated I'm sure. The only other I know of for certain was found near Fulwood Lane at Ringinglow many years ago. It's in Weston Park Museum's collection and in the Sites and Monuments record.
