Civil War ID needed

Found last week on a CW battlefield in VA, this is iron and apparently was part of something larger. I believe part of artillery shell. Measures about 4" tall and 3" in diameter. The metal is about 1/2' thick. Any idea what type of shell and USA or CSA use?

STC - Repost this item with the word 'cannonball' in the title. That should attract the attention of The CannonballGuy. He is our forum expert on these frags.
