Archaeology — Late Bronze Age; 1,000 - 800 BCE
Quern, saddle quern
A Late Bronze Age broken saddle quern of wealden greensand dating 1,000 to 800 BCE. The surface shows signs of wear from being used to grind grain. It was found in a large pit with the remains of a horse skull and a lump of unfired clay, from archaeological excavations at Westcroft Road, Carshalton. It is likely part of deliberate deposition and may have been 'killed' before it was placed in the pit.
