A 5,000-year-old flint axe head has been found in a garden in Somerset. Andrew Witts made the rare prehistoric discovery while landscaping his garden at Creech St Michael near Taunton. Mr Witts said: "I knew I had found something unusual when I noticed the object had a polished surface, but I never thought it would be that."

The Somerset County Museum which identified the object said it was a fine example of a highly polished, flint Neolithic axe.

Mr Witts plans to donate the axe to the museum, where it will be put on display as part of the Taunton 1100 exhibition.
