I have found this rock in a none basaltic area. Its heavy, shiny and atracts to magnets. It has some holes on the surface on one side and it looks like a piece of the rock has fell off. Could it be a meteorite?

No, it is not a meteorite.

Time for more coffee.

perhaps its a piece of iron ore

For me it's looks like a kind of volcanic rock, maybe latite. To be sure other investigation is needed. But I agree, that isn't a meteorite.

It's slag... Classic vesicules and color. Notice last picture showing the slag flow or slow roll...
