Cast Iron Holey Thing

[DiggerBug]

What do you think this is or was used for? And how was it mounted?
The back has a raised piece that would not allow it to lay flat against a surface.

Before cleaning....



After electrolysis....

Wagon or carriage step? Might be a little too fancy for that...

I'd guess carriage step, too.

My guess is that 'raised part' is a gusset or stiffener to add strength to the
opposite side & the design is there just to make it slip-proof. Looks like some
sort of step but I'm wondering if those mounting holes would take a fastener
large enough to hold a person's weight.

Could it be some kind of pedal?
