stones

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'gritty bits' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both man-made objects as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'one's found at end of street' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'one's' could be 'ones' and 'ones' is present in the answer.
'street' could be 'st' (abbreviation) and 'st' is found in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
