| Abstract: |
The primary contexts of rotary querns found on seven broch, semibroch or dun sites are used as a basis for a discussion of the origins of rotary querns in Scotland. Two types were in use from 1st century BC to 3rd century AD: a bun-shaped quern with bipartite hopper and fixed lateral handle, which spread into Scotland initially from N England, and a disc quern with loose upright handle which was introduced direct from S England along with other elements of late Iron Age B cultures.
