Possibly a old cannon axle?

Sorry haven’t been posting much lately, I’ve been pretty busy. Me and grandpa dig up a 200lb steel axel of some sort. Dose anyone know how old it is, and what it came off of? Any thoughts?

Looks like a straight axel to me Hard to say for sure with the background in the photo makes it hard to look at

The axel was about 5 feet long

Being all iron, it's probably from a heavy cart. Large portable engine, baler, reaper. etc. If the center has a swivel/bolster, it would be a front axle. Older wagons and cannons had wooden axles.

Looks like an antique farm wagon axle, like the one in the pic at the link below. Was the location where found, a farm at one time?
