Roman whetstone
Flattened oval cross-section. The most interesting feature is the partially bored hole at one end, 5 mm deep. This stone lacks the slightly polished finish of most of the other stones in this material, and it may be that it was never used, the fracture being caused during the drilling of the hole.
