Upper stone of a Hertfordshire Puddingstone rotary hand-quern, over 90% complete, but with probable plough damage across the upper surface. The lower surface is discoloured dark grey and may have found later use as a hearthstone; but it is not heavily burnt. It differs markedly from most Hertforshire Puddingstone querns, being much flatter then the typical hemispherical or sub-conical form, dated to AD c.50-100 or 150, and found widely in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire, and counties eastward across East Anglia. It is believed to belong to an earlier group (AD c.25-50), on the present evid…

Object type: WHETSTONE
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: County of Herefordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Incomplete whetstone of probable Early Medieval or Medieval date (c.800 – 1400). The whetstone is formed from a very fine sedimentary mica rich sandstone or siltstone and bedding planes are clearly visible in the profile. The whetstone is broadly sub-rectangular in plane with slightly tapering sides, and is also sub-rectangular in cross section. The edges are slightly bevelled. A relatively small suspension hole has been drilled in the upper part of the whetstone; this has been achieved by drilling (probably using a bow saw / drill) from both edges which has created an egg-timer shap…

Record ID: BH-C98766
Object type: ROTARY QUERN
Broad period: IRON AGE
County: Hertfordshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A fragment from a small circular rotary quernstone. Rotary querns probably first came into use in the late Iron Age and were employed through the Roman period and probably into the Early-medieval period (see E.C. Curwen, 1937). This particular piece represents part of the outer edge of a disc-shaped quern, originally of c. 0.5m in diameter. It is made from a coarse-grained sedimentary rock, with large quartz-like inclusions, and may be millstone grit. There are no grooves in the surfaces. The fragment measures 134.83mm long, 60.5mm wide and 45.43mm thick. The weight is 550.3g.

Possible cut stone spindlewhorl. A sub circular, thick disc of stone with a small central hole. The hole is straight sided and 5mm in diameter. It has been roughly cut from a piece of hard red sandstone, most likely from the Quantock Hills in Somerset (identification provided by Dennis Parsons, Keeper of Natural History, Somerset County Museums Service). There are several plough scrapes on the surface of the object.
