Found this morning slap bang in the middle of one of my Roman sites it's quite a large piece 8 inches across on the largest dimension it's beautifully grooved and where the edge is chipped it looks like some type of Volcanic rock any additional information would be great and a date even better thanks Rob

Nice example of a lava hand mill stone. The lava is a type that comes from quarries in the Eifel Region of Germany and are often associated with Anglo Saxon sites though the Romans brought them in as a part of the Legions kit when invading Brittannia in the 1st C.

Yes I really don’t like Roman coins, I’m not joking
