A possible whetstone. The object is rectangular in plan and also in cross-section with one smooth surface, and all others being slightly irregular. The irregularity of the other sides is more akin to the way in which the stone would probably naturally break, rather than having been intentionally made into a whetstone. The stone is cream-yellow in colour.
