Description: | A worn fragment from the upper stone of a Roman rotary hand mill or quern. The stone has one flat face, and one concave; the latter is much finer in terms of the chip marks which cover the exterior of the stone and would have been a grinding face. The curvature of the stone suggests that it would have originally had a diameter of c. 450mm. The stone is non-local to the findspot being greensand and originating in Lodsworth, West Sussex. | Subjects: | Rotary | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Webley, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
