Trough for pounding grain

Trough with five niches

A special grain trough made from local porphyry

Five niches were carved in a long stone block to shell grain. The truss made of wooden poles has not been preserved. The stone trough was unearthed during building work near today's St. Anton church, where a watercourse used to flow from Grödnerbach stream (Lad. Derjon).
