    More likely a trailer hitch pin.

    I don't think a hitch pin would weigh 5 pounds. I like the sash weight idea. Is there a hole in the end of the cylinder?

    I checked for holes in it , but no holes and for such a small item it is heavy . I am thinking along the lines of C.W as this peice was found within 10 feet of a large civil war trench and a within 5 feet from a sunken road only used for military . So it would be something that would belong with there equipment as the tree it was pretty much under is right around 150 years old and it was burried down 14 inches .
