All, I dug this iron leg(?) at a site once occupied by the earliest doctor in the area (late 1790s-1814). Story has it that even George Washington visited his cabin. The property was passed down through his family until his great-grandson was the last to own it. Shortly after his death in 1959 the local fire department burned down the cabin for practice. Since then the area has been turned into a park and trees now cover most of it. Can anyone positively ID this? Any help is appreciated as I intend to donate it along with some other artifacts I found there to the local historical society for an upcoming exhibit.

It reminds me of the bottom or foot off a kettle stand. Like for butchering etc.

All, thanks for your inputs, I think those are 2 good possibilities. Small pieces of cast iron are some of the most difficult to ID unless there is part of a maker's mark...
