Description: | A fragment of grey lava quern stone, preserving approximately 25% of the original diameter. Part of one edge is perserved with flattened, curved outer surface and flat top and bottom surfaces. The base(?) of the quern is flat and with no decoration or evidence of a grinding surface. The top(?) has a flattened rim, the remainder being worn and slightly concave towards the now missing centre of the object, probably as a result of use-wear. The stone itself is grey, relatively hard and compact with some large quartz inclusions. It measures 27.6mm in length, 128.01mm in width, 55.48mm in thickness (at edge/rim), c.380mm in original diameter and 2193g in weight. This is a lava quern stone, possibly dating as early as the Roman period, although a later, Medieval to Post-Medieval, date is equally possible. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
