Note on a ground and polished stone axe head found during works to the west of Doddington village, Northumberland, in 2004. The axe head appears to be made from Langdale Tuff, and has flattened sides characteristic of some Langdale axe heads. From its proximity to at least two ring ditches and to finds of flints including a barbed and tanged arrowhead, and dates obtained for peat sediments in the same field, the author suggests a Late Neolithic/Early Bronze Age date of before 2000 BC for the find.
