Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report Abstract:	In April 2013, metal detectorist Chris Heap discovered a decorated socketed axe in a field near Hathern, in north-west Leicestershire. He reported the find to Wendy Scott, his local county Finds Liaison Officer, who contacted Dot Boughton, Finds Liaison Officer for Cumbria and Lancashire, who specialises in socketed axes from the Late Bronze and Early Iron Age (c.1000–600 BC). The socketed axe is now recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme (PAS) database (www.finds.org.uk/database) under the find identification LEIC-1ED197. It is described as an Early Iron Age socketed axe of Sompting type, dating from c.800–600 BC. A grid reference of 10 figures for the findspot of the axe was provided by the finder.
