I have seen simlar stones in the Faero Islands
village traditions say that they weere used as a quern / kværn
"Pair of grinding stones used for pulverizing grain (from about
4000-2000 bc). The lower stone was slightly hollowed and the upper stone
was rolled by hand on the lower one."
[Middle English querne, from Old English cweorn.]
Saddle quern
There are a variety of types of quern-stone, with the two most common
being the saddle quern and the rotary quern. The saddle quern is
produced by rocking or rolling the handstone using parallel motions (ie
pushing and pulling the handstone), which forms a shape looking like a
saddle. These are the most ancient and widely used type of quern-stone.
The handstones for saddle querns are generally either roughly
cylindrical (not unlike a rolling pin) and used with both hands, or
rough hemispheres and used with one hand. This provides a crushing
motion, not a grinding action and is more suitable for crushing malted
grain. It is not easy to produce flour from a saddle quern with unmalted
grain.
