ID for Iron Peg thingy, please

Ave!

Iron; 95mm/25.6gm

Looks sort of like a tent peg, but perhaps too short? Anyone?

Could also be a door/gate hinge.

I like "Iron Peg thingy".

Yes, at under 4" and that light weight it is unlikely to fasten down a tent very well. 

Door or chest hinge seems possible.
