Hey up,
hello Stubob , there appears to be a few of them about but they have no association with which to suggest a date ., so take your pick .The ones I have seen would not have been used as sharpening stones .
It don't bother me like..... they're something I'd go looking for myself...but are the markings prehistorically old?
The stone marked with the concentric squares is the 'board' for the ancient game of Nine Mens Morris....which with the arrow sharpening grooves kinda suggests bored medieval archers stood around waiting for their practice shots.
I realise the game is a lot older than medieval but still....
nice one
