Roman Olive Oil Press
Roman Olive Oil Press submitted by Maatje : Roman Olive Oil Press, Serpa (Vote or comment on this photo)
On a gravel road (sideway of the N260) amidst farmland with olive trees and huge stones grouped together, we have found this remarkable stone. It was made and used some time during the Roman period. This area is full of signs of early habitation.

We have seen this stone about 1 km away from the Roman Wall - Barragen Romana do Muro dos Mouros - (a water preservation wall) and a settlement (not dated and found as the land was fenced.
