I have to admit, this is the first time I have seen an old millstone used as a paving stone. Of course, now almost all of the millstones left are historic artifacts and date back into antiquity. Millstones come in pairs and another interesting fact is that I have seldom seen two of them together. The pattern on the millstone is designed to cut the wheat berries, grind them into flour, and then feed the flour to the outside edge of the millstone where it can be gathered into bags. Here we see the beginning of a historical mystery: where is the other millstone and where was the mill?
