A fragment of Niedermendig lava. This fragment of rock weighs c.1500.0g and is part of an Early-Medieval to early Medieval rotary quern dating to c.AD 700-1100. This is a fragment from the upper stone and the fragment includes part of the collar from around the eye. The collar gives the upper stone a thickness of 72.7mm. The surface adjacent to the eye is vertical and has a length of c.72.0mm. The external edge of the upper stone seems to be incomplete due to an old break and has a maximum length of c.194.0mm. The stone has a thickness ranging between 24.5mm and 37.7mm at the outer…

A fragment of Niedermendig lava. This fragment of rock weighs 498.23g and has been shaped to be used as a quern stone, probably a rotary quern, only a small portion of which survives. According to information given by Watts, S., 2006, this quern is more likely to date from the Medieval to Post-Medieval period, c.AD 1100 - c.AD 1700. However, this fragmentary piece of lava does not contain enough diagnostic features to further identify the form of quern and therefore narrow the suggested date range. The grinding surface has been dressed with well defined ridges. The space between th…
