Large beehive quern stone dating to the Iron Age, (800BC-100AD). The object is circular in plan and beehive shaped in form. It is the upper stone of a quern. The object has a central circular perforation. The surface around the perforation on the upper surface has been worn due to its use as the working surface. At one side of the object is a socket for a handle which would probably have been made of metal. The quern stone is granite and in very good condition. Beehive querns were in use during the Iron Age and continued until the 1st century occupation.
