Deathontwolegs,Just a guess mind ya but I'll say - iron door? From the presence of the ring and the location of the tang/ tongue just left of the ring- it probably is a fire box door, hung from the right side. If you clean it up you may find a mfg. mark or date which may be helpful in determining origin. It might have been a lid to a strong-box if that tang is actually the remainder of an old hasp.

Big iron like that......I like Evaporust and/or a bead blaster. Be prepared to coat it with something or it will start to rust again.
