Old grave marker/stone?

Hi all,is this a little gravestone or marker? Or is it too small? Something else? Looks to be hand chiselled is that right? Its 17cm wide,3cm thick and stands 23cm tall. The centre raised area is 11cm wide,14cm long and also about 3cm thick. It weighs 4,5kg. Probably not the most interesting thing,but I was just wondering about it. Thanks for any comments and keep well.

 

With that smaller piece on it, it may be the top to some type of stone container?

 

you're thinking a lid of some sort ??

 

Possible interesting take on it. I didn’t think of that. Thanks for the comment.

 

Will triangle shape not be weird for it to be a top/lid? Or maybe it’s that shape for easier handeling and removal? (I don’t know,just wondering)

 

depends what it sat on.... I guess

 

could it have been a walkway stone ..???

 

Very true

 

Thanks for the comment.
I will also search that idea..

 

Looks like a 9th Century home plate! (American baseball reference - game not invented really until the 1830s if memory serves.)

 

Ha ha,I enjoyed that comment. Thank you. Also good memory you have (I checked 1839)

 

Yes - lid / top.

 

Well at least we know it’s most probably an antique (just a bit if morning humour)

 

Any further ideas? Thanks
