Might have been the pivot point for a mule-operated mill.

A tree stump with a rock in it!

Witches use these to tell the future.

Salt

I think it's for collecting rain and accelerating natural stump rot. Some wise guy put a rock in it for grins. Sometimes you can find stumps with crude cross-hatch patterns that do the same thing. Yours shows typical old-world craftsmanship and attention to detail. Perhaps you can sell it on e-bay. Do they use money yet in Poland? Or are they still on the barter system?

How many of these did you find?

A gun and salt is all one needs out there.

It clearly is a salt lick. Used to maintain health in deer and elk populations. Also helps attracting them to a certain area.

That's a good one. Yatsek also proposed the same answer, I believe it's salt. Mihaj's theory might also be true since I found it.
Found only one on my way but no idea if there were more.

(Barter is a method of exchange by which goods or services are directly exchanged for other goods or services without using a medium of exchange, such as money.It is usually bilateral, but may be multilateral, and usually exists parallel to monetary systems in most developed countries, though to a very limited extent. Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, when the currency is unstable and devalued by hyperinflation.)
