Found this in this 1880's area. No ideas come to mind. Seems there was a third leg that is broken off. Any ideas appreciated. Thanks in advance

Looks like either part of a trap. Or a mole trap?....lol It may not be an actual part of a trap, but part of the stake out ring that would hold the trap on the ground? Something like this.... https://www.google.com/search?q=ANT...dxqBFgQ_AUIBygC&dpr=0.9#imgrc=F56U2ItsaUlgYM:
