A broader weapon of granite, expanding more at the ends (5 1∕2 inches) was found in the Tay,[640] near Newburgh, Fife. A flatter specimen of porphyritic stone (4 inches) was found on the shore of Cobbinshaw Loch,[641] West Calder, Midlothian, in 1885. |185| A specimen of nearly the same type, found near Uelzen, Hanover, is engraved by von Estorff;[642] another from Sweden, by Sjöborg.[643] In the Museum at Geneva is a very similar axe of greenstone (5 1∕4 inches), found in the neighbourhood of that town. One of serpentine, much longer in its proportions (9 1∕4 inches), and with an oval shaft-hole, is in the Museum at Lausanne. It was found at Agiez, Canton de Vaud. [Illustration: Fig. 118.—Hunmanby. 1∕2] In the _Collections_[644] published by the Sussex Archælogical Society is a figure, obligingly lent to me, of a beautiful axe-head of this class (Fig. 119) found with the remains of a skeleton, an amber cup (Fig. 307), a whetstone (Fig. 186), and a small bronze dagger with two rivet holes, in an oaken coffin in a barrow at Hove, near Brighton. The |186| axe-head is said to be formed of some kind of ironstone, and is 5 inches long. The hole is described as neatly drilled. A weapon of the same kind (3 1∕2 inches) blunter at the ends and described as a hammer, was found with a deer’s-horn hammer, and a bronze knife in a barrow at Lambourn, Berks.[645] A small black stone axe-head of nearly similar form was found near the head of a contracted skeleton at a depth of 12 feet in a barrow in Rolston Field, Wilts.[646] A somewhat similar specimen, with the sides faceted and blunt at one end, has been engraved as having been found in Yorkshire.[647] It is, however, doubtful whether, like many other objects in the same plate, it is not foreign. The original is now in the Christy Collection. A double-edged axe-head of basalt, injured by fire, and 4 1∕2 inches long, was found by the late Mr. Bateman, in a large urn with calcined bones, bone pins, a tubular bone laterally perforated, a flint “spear-head,” and a bronze awl, in a barrow near Throwley, Derbyshire.[648] This was the only instance in which he found a perforated stone axe accompanying an interment by cremation. An axe-head of basalt, with a double edge to cut either way, was also dug up in the neighbourhood of Tideswell, Derbyshire.[649] [Illustration: Fig. 119.—Hove. 1∕2] A specimen of this kind (5 inches), edged at both ends, but “the one end rather blunted and lessened a little by use,” was found near Grimley, Worcestershire, and is figured by Allies.[650] I have a specimen (5 1∕8 inches), much weathered, which is said to have come from Bewdley in that county, but which may be that from Grimley. An example, 5 inches long, engraved in the Salisbury volume[651] of the Archæological Institute, from a barrow on Windmill Hill, Abury, Wilts, is described as double-edged.[652]
