Description: | Large fragment of a rotary quern, made from dark red sand stone. Because of its shape it is suggested here that it is the lower half of the rotary quern. The central perforation is still visible and on one side of the sloping upper surface, it has a large, deep groove. Rotary querns are very difficult to date. They were an every-day household item and have been found in Roman as well as Medieval contexts. The quern was recorded at Penrith Finds Day, 14.06.05 | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Dot Boughton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
