Description: | The base from a stone mortar which probably dates from the medieval or early post medieval period. The mortar is made from a gastropod-rich limestone, possibly Upper Jurassic Purbeck marble. The base is circular with some damage to the edges and diagonal tooling marks can be seen on the less damaged parts of the external face. The remains of two opposing lugs or ribs project from each side, starting at a height of about 20mm. The concave interior is smooth and survives to an internal maximum depth of about 25mm. Overall the surviving piece of mortar measures 170cm by 150cm by 60cm high. | 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 | Temporal: | 1200
