'A beach stone in the shape of a spheroid, 19.5m by 17.0m by 9.5m was found in a drystone wall by a resident of Tolsta Chaolais. It has 2 cup shaped depressions, each 7cm diameter by 1cm deep, one ground into the centre of each of the two flattened faces'.
M R Ponting 1986.

I wonder whether this might be a door pivot? MML15.1.2001
