Full Description
Pre 1908. 'Possibly East Walton; In E. W. Fen'
One Bronze palstave with central rib on blade, looped 15.3cm (6in).
See (S1), (S2) and (S3).
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
'Label says farm', not Fen. Therefore 'old label reads Walton Farm'.
R. R. Clarke (NCM).
Member of the public [1] stated that his farm was locally known as East Walton Farm or Walton Farm; but he did not know any stories of an axe found there except for the flint axe NHER 14935.
E. Rose (NAU), 1 July 1981.
