An alter. A sacrifice must now be given to appease the gods and maintain order.

Are you trying to piss off the gods? How would you like it if someone gave you their garbage and pretended it was a gift?

This town has some rich jewish heritage (very much inglorious though), it's most likely an old jewish tombstone, or at least what remains of it. Still - pretty cool to randombly stumble upon it.
