Does look like a stirrup, but hard to say for sure cuz I don't have a size to go by!

Yep definitely a stirrup. And a nice one at that. They can be a little hard to date but it looks like it goes back a bit.

Justin, does the lockplate key cover have writing on it? That will help date it. Nice Finds. About a month ago, I found the bottom portion of a stirrup like yours in a CSA Camp. HH.
