I've been back to the area and can find no evidence of fence lines.  The area is heavily wooded and is a small running trail surrounding Charlottesville, VA. 

How can I clean it?

There doesn't appear to be any threads in the opening.  There may be a hole for a set screw near the opening lip.  the little knobs don't appear to have holes in them.  I believe this is intricately decorated, but the rust is obscuring the design.  Suggested for cleaning this object?

I was in Charlottesville, VA and running on a trail in the woods.  I tripped over an object and uncovered the attached piece.  It's heavy metal and the center is hollow.  I was thinking it may be a post top for a hitching post.  anyone venture a guess?  Has anyone seen anything like this before.
