Description: | A fragment of a stone quern of probable Iron Age or Roman date. It is broken but has two original faces; one flat one showing evidence of rotary grinding, and one curved face, the outer edge of the stone. It is a hard gritty stone with quartz inclusions. It is a yellow grey colour.Other finds and archaeological research on the site suggest that old quern stones were being crushed to be re-used as temper for Roman pottery.
