<full>Made from a coarse grained quartzite erratic with some possible shaping (or accidental damage) around the perimeter.  The irregular oval working surface (280 x 200 mm) is dished to a depth of c. 35 mm and is pitted near its centre.  Overall dimensions approximately 345 x 220 x 120 mm.  Saddle querns were been in use in Britain from the late Neolithic into the Iron Age, being then replaced by rotary querns in many areas, but may have persisted in some places later.</full>
