Granite Leather Press Base?

This looks like a granite base for a press of some kind and used to compress some material to force out a liquid. The four (cut off) rusty rods I suspect would support the actual Press Mechanism above and the rectangular grooves lead downwards to a sort of spout in the top LH corner. There used to be a Tannery in Grampound on the site where this is displayed before the housing was built in the last 5 years or so.
