Pestle
This item was previously identified as a pestle but seems most probably to be a hammerstone or something used for pounding or hitting. It is very strong, smooth, dense stone and really does not have enough area to be an efficient pestle. Also, at the wider end are chips in the stone, fracture points with definite area of contact.
