Since 1974, over 100 greensand querns of a type common in late Iron Age and early Romano-British contexts have been collected by five different people from the foreshore at East Wear Bay, situated on the east side of the Channel port of Folkestone, on the coast of south-east Kent (FIGS, ia and ib). The majority of these has been recovered by local enthusiast, Mr M. Dugdale, who reported his findings to the writer. This article is intended as an interim statement to place on record these findings and seeks to show that a major quern-production site was situated hereabouts, which was active during the late Iron Age and early Roman periods.
