Found this near my home. The land is old farmland/orchard we think. Any ideas what this is?

It's a trap for Whatsis

It appears to be iron work to a single tree (horse drawn equipment). The u shaped long bar should be straight with the egg shaped hook on the right being where the rugs of harness hook on(the left one is missing). The bracket in the midd le hooks to the doubletree. Regional names for this equipment seems to vary depending where you are from. 

Hope this helps!

Singletree gets my vote. 

Yeah. We call them swingle trees.

Whipptetree. 

its too big for Whippets, I m afraid even a full size Grey Hound is to small for one that large

Whippet.

Whippet good.

It can be a bit gamy if improperly prepared. A lot of it is based on how much time you are willing to DEVOte to it.

Thanks for the help, I may have to try to recreate this, one day.
