Group XX was first defined by F.W. Shotton (1959, 141) and at present accounts for 2.7% of all sectioned implements from this country (Clough 1988, S); therefore the group is of some importance. Axes predominate in Group XX, although a variety of perforated forms, some adzes and one wedge are known (see Table 1). Axes vary from being well formed and finished to cruder examples. However, Clough and Green (1972, 123) noted that Group XX axes appeared to have been produced in a distinct form, the 'Type A', which may perhaps be seen as a characteristic product of the Group. The Type A was produced in two sizes, 19-23cm and 11-Bcm long; implying that there was some degree of organisation in the production of Group XX.
