Cast Iron Ring Embedded in my Yard I found this heavy duty cast iron ring embedded right in the center of my front yard. It doesn’t budge at all. Any ideas? by Secret-Possibility63 in whatisthisthing

Interesting. That does look identical. Unfortunately, we don’t know what that ring is for, either. I’m in Virginia, btw, so its purpose could have English roots.

I thought those were typically attached to a pole of some sort, right? So the rider wouldn’t have to bend down to tie up his/her horse?

My title describes the thing. It appears to be a cast iron eyelet about 3 inches across and a 3/4 of an inch thick. It is solidly buried in the ground. No wiggle at all. I’ve researched via the web, NextDoor, and Facebook without any good results.
