Research results
A possible quern or millstone fragment found during the Wiltshire Archaeology Field Group excavation of the Roman settlement site at Cumberwell, Bradford-on-Avon, 2008-2010. Unfortunately, the paper archive of the excavation has been lost and the site has not been published except for preliminary analyses of the excavated and field walked finds. From these and geophysical survey results the site can be identified as an agricultural settlement of relatively low wealth, although with substantial stone-built structures.
