Description: | An incomplete stone mortar, probably made from Purbeck Marble, which was quarried extensively during the Medieval period. The mortar is sub-circular in plan with a roughly shaped outer edge and flat base all displaying tool marks. There is one rectangular side lug remaining; the mortar would have had a lug opposite this first one and another with a runnel for pouring in between the two. The inside of the mortar has been worn smooth with use. Although hard to date out of context, this type of mortar was in use predominantly between the 13th and 14th centuries AD.
