"An upper Stone of a querne, now preserved in the museum
of the Scottish Antiquaries, was discovered in 1825, along
with the remains of an Iron Sword, in digging on the
Summit of a hill Called the Camp, near Pitlour houses, Fifeshire.
The type in which the upper Stone is funnel Shaped, with radiating
grooves from the Centre perforation, is believed to be the portable
hand mill of the Roman Soldiers. It is engraved as such
in Stewarts Caledonia Romanae."
