Hi, Aqua Marine. What a nice object! Surely it's an interesting finding, but I don't think is a fossil...It looks too much "perfect" in my opinion. I feel to agree with Darren, but in this case an appropriate question is: who or what put this "egg" in that hole?
With respect with its age would be helpful to understand if this object is autochthonous; in affermative case, could be enough to consult some information about the geology of the site. A striking, alternative idea: maybe an oopart???
Better to be just than good (Kempis)

Looks to me that what you see from the outside is what you will see in the interior, as it appears to be translucent. A fossil egg will not be translucent, I doubt it would be so perfectly egg-shaped, and it certainly would not be polished, like what you have. We just don't find things like that in holes of big rocks.
