   The quern consisted of two circular stones laid on each other horizontally with grooves especially chiseled on each. It was worked by rotation of a centre shaft of wood or iron.

There are many of those old grindstones lying around family premises. I saw one some time ago at Rossmore House residence of P. Vaughan.
