Title
Two views of a fragment of quern stone.
Description
English: The object is a fragment of a probable quern stone. The stone is a poorly sorted sandstone. It is immature textually and compositionally. This sandstone is found in the upper carboniferous coal measures, possibly from the Warwickshire coal fields. It is an unusual stone for querns compared to other examples found in Warwickshire. 

 In plan the fragment is a sub-trapezoidal shape, which is really incidental to the original shape. Only one edge is possibly a portion of the original surface. All the other side edges appear to be relatively fresh breaks. The lower surface is smooth, flat and worn. The upper surface is also smooth, but is slightly undulating. 


   
  It measures 131.9mm long, 102.3mm wide and 56.7mm thick. It weighs 1062g.
The quern is possibly Iron Age, but more probably Roman date.
Depicted place (County of findspot) Warwickshire
Date between 700 BC and 410
