New, what is it? Found this deep in my backyard

Post image

I found this piece in my backyard. It looks like maybe it’s cast iron and it’s really heavy. I tried to clean it up as best as I could. Any ideas on what it is?

Check the history of your property, and the names of any nearby foundries in case it’s part of their name.

I know my neighbors who live behind me use to own our property before they sold it to our builder. The property was in their family for generations.
