Archaeology / archaeological mill discoveries

Danish term or phrase: skvatmoelle

From an article about an archaeological book about mill discoveries. Could someone please enlighten me?

Example: Tidligere forkdere har sat lighedstegn mellem begrebet 'skvatmoelle (af skvat, der betyder 'lille smule vand' og moelle) og horisontal moelle.
Advice appreciated!

skvatmølle

Explanation:
Treat as proper noun (Please note the spelling!). This mill type was not used in English speaking countries, and there is thus no word for it in the English language.

Insert explanation within brackets or footnote.
