Iron Round Tool?

[Unclebakon]

I found this near an old plantation site. It is about 5 to 7 pounds in weight and 4 inches in diameter with a 1-1/2" hole in the center. It is solid iron with small hammer dings all over, I believe.

The location belonged to a gin wright, train master mechanic, and Civil War era wealthy plantation owner.

Any ideas?

maybe went to a slide hammer for removing dents ?

Looks like an iron wheel! You often saw them on old scales and small cannon.
