What do you think this might be?

This 'stone' was found in the Akamas. It has a dimple on each side, it is approximately 10 inches across, and it weighs 22 kilos. It is definitely not cement but doesn't look like the other stones of the same area. I think it must have been used for a tool of some kind but can't figure out what? It's not the Flintstones bowling ball either :) .

It could be an Ottoman Cannon Ball.

Don't show it here, if the fanatics see it they may have an orgasm.

Don't think it's 'just' an old aged rock. Have another look and the pics below.

Grinding wheat to flour or olives to oil?

An aloni component?

Nah, it might be that cross dressing Ataturk's left testicle on closer inspection.

I think it is a peice of old rock about 10" across weighing about 22Kg with dimples in that might or might not have been used as a tool.

If not obvioulsy a local rock to where found is it harder or softer than local rock? Any obvious indicators of where else it may have come from?

Attaturk only had one ball, and the other is in kafenes back garden!

I agree with GIG. Maybe it was part of a grinding wheal... Are the holes at the exact opposite sides of the rock?
