Description: | A fragment of grey lava quern stone top of probable Roman or later date, probably imported from the Rhine.It is roughly rectangular in form, terminating on either side in old breaks. The outer edge tapers towards the centre to give a sub-triangular profile. On the top face is the remains of a circumferential groove, approximately 70mm from the outer edge. The bottom face is concave in profile from continous grinding action.This quern measures 125.48mm in length, 136.27mm in width, 50.74mm in thickness at the outer edge, 18.79mm in thickness at the inner edge, 8.55g in weight.There is a similar example recorded on the PAS database (SF-B3B395). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
