Found this on a field in England with lots of roman bricks. Is this a tool or not?

Usually you can see strike marks, or wear distinctive of a tool, if you can put it under a scope you should be able to tell pretty quickly!

Crack open a walnut with it and you can legimately say it has been a stone tool.

Who can say what that rock's past is? Was it altered? No. But the neolithic folks used what was available and left most behind because . . . why lug rocks around? Rocks are everywhere.

Sharp edges - now those take some work.

It's not a tool, it's Patrick Star's home!

I can't tell if that flat edge has been ground down & used as a type of quern stone that was the hand held version, like this:

A tool? Hammer stone would have "use" peppered all over the working surface.
Good size, but the rock doesn't look dense enough to be used as a tool.

Doesn't need to be dense to crush wheat or grain.
