The remains of the axe seem to be linked with the Welby type or closely related to it. During the Ewart Park period of the Late Bronze Age (LBA II, 9th-8th century B.C.) there were several regional varieties of ribbed socketted axes. The Welby type was mainly distributed in southern and eastern England.
