Find from Curragh

Archaeology

A record for a Neolithic stone axehead found in a marl pit at Ballaugh close to the remains of the remains of an Irish Elk (Cervus Megaceros). It may be a stone axehead of white whitstone which was found in the Curragh, a cast of which was exhibited at the meeting of the Arch. Institute in 1856 by the Rev. J G Cumming of Lichfield. The original was said to have been in the Museum of King William's College, Castletown. The axehead measured 21cm long by 15cm wide.
