Abstract:		 Edge-ground stone axeheads of the Mesolithic are common in Ireland and Wales, but no unequivocal examples have yet been found in Scotland (possible exceptions from Fair Isle and Morton are considered in an end-note). This article concerns an artefact in the National Museums of Scotland in Edinburgh, best described as a pebble axehead or chisel with bifacially ground edge. Information on its provenance is limited to the inscription, 'found at Cambwell', an inland location. The particular morphology of the implement has few direct analogies from Ireland, although comparison can be made with some examples from Wales. However, its general character suggests a Mesolithic ascription. LD
