My best guess would be a quartzite but like a low grade metamorphism, leaving the sand grains intact. It would explain why the hole isn’t smooth, the grains were chipping out whole. Unfortunately I don’t have an opinion as to wether it’s an artifact, could have been used at one point but no definitive signs of human alteration.
