I have had this pyramid shaped bit of rock floating around for ages it has 4 3 sided sides and looks like it should be on top of something,the sides although rough are too even to be natural
so go on then?
what is it

...though it might be a rock, Dave.
It looks polished - someone's been manhandling it. Is it a sandstone?

As an aside, that book's quite a decent thickness, considering......

Is it the pinnacle off a stone mound or column?
Or smashed off something like this

Me and dad getting lots of agro of mum for collecting to much stuff she wants it all gone or stacked better so she can't see it out of her bedroom window lol, got to much plant now and 50% is out on jobs. But rest as spread out of barn into the field and barn is a right mess, going to take two weeks of sorting and additional racking to get it all off the floor or ground and stacked horizontal but just haven't got the time at mo to do it.
I'll take some pics when I get a chance it is a mess hehe, then next to barn we've got pallets of bricks or block or kerns, york stone, Indian stone, stone sills, stone coins, head and lintel, then piles of steels and sheet piles, buckets and attachments, trailers etc a right mess.
Found a stack of 8"x1"x30' oak boards 20 of them behind the barn, bought them at auction 10 years ago and forgot about them. Not sure what we will ever do with them.

Is that actually possible? To have too much kit? I always worked on the principle that you can never have too much. I mean, what else could you spend your money on (apart from birds, booze and bedlam?) and claim it as a legitimate, tax-deductible expense?

my old boss frank alderman had a farm and he seemed to work on the same principles here that you cannot accumulate enough stuff
I was looking for a tarp to cover a roof so went into an old barn and found 1
underneath it covered in cack was a 1970ish jenson interceptor
he had diggers horses,motor cross bikes, dumpers you name it
at 1 point we found an artc full of yellow jelly scaffold (quick stage i believe was its proper name) in a massive nettle patch round the back field
million pound houses built there now

I think every farm should have at least one Hymac 580 parked in a corner. A field looks empty without one!
