"a blunt and heavy er thing" was a bill hook, AKA bill. Add a 7' stick instead of the handle and you have the weapon that the Nevs play with.
All you need now is the time to lay your allotment hedge while a) the hedge is dormant, b) there's nothing to nick on site (the horizonal hedge will be easier to climb over than the vertical one, until the new growth comes in the spring).
Steve C is getting me a bill so you can borrow that, or I have a couple of small hand axes which would do the same job.
