Greetings from Cyprus

I found this stone on our nearby beach the other day and have been wondering what it is- my first thought was fishing net weight- but then maybe its a loom weight.

The bottom corner looks as though it has been chipped off but the hole looks very defined (part on the back has been blocked up by a shelled sea creature)
I have another stone in the same type of rock that is more round and the hole looks more worn (but my camera card is full at the moment!)

This second photo is an amphora neck that I found when they dredged Paphos Harbour a couple of years ago- an archaeologist who was surveying the site of the proposed new marina dated it to 2nd C AD for me. There is a lot of archaeology just laying around here!
So- any ideas on what the first picture is showing? Any help VERY much appreciated
