It looks like a karst limestone landscape, weathered into the strange shapes by rain, wind and running water.

It looks like `X marks the spot' so I suggest it's a location marker of some kind.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
As it's not your object and have used a picture from online, I will relate what I found about the very same image. Apparently it's a servant call button, set into the floor and operated by foot.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
Commonly called caulks Wendy and these are posh ones, they have tungsten carbide inserts.
You are of course dead right (and Gloria will be gnashing her teeth because I bet she knew as well!) Well done, next one?

Mordax supplied those from their base in Altham near Padiham. And yes Gloria was gnashing her teeth.

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
I haven't heard them called caulks before, but then I never needed to use them. Sorry Gloria!
