Full Description
SZ 04128215. A possible quernstone with central perforation expanding into a shallow depression, as in normal upper stones of Iron Age B to Romano-British type querns, was found west of Warren Wood near Studland Bay. The slope of the grinding surface, however, would suggest that it had been reused as a lower stone. In the possession of P. Vine, Manor Farm, Studland. <1>
