Archaeologists left stunned after girl on dog walk at National Trust site discovers rare neolithic axe-head

A schoolgirl has been praised by experts after unearthing a rare artefact during a dog walk - a rare 6,000-year-old Neolithic axe head. Evie Numan picked the piece up at a National Trust estate in Surrey, thinking it was a rock.

But the item turned out to be a complete flint axe head - which could be worth up to £1,000. Mum Gemma Morris, 34, contacted experts, who praised Evie for her “outstanding find”.
