Default Camp stove?

Not sure if this posted or not having issue uploading pix.
But found this old stove/heater at 6" deep no marking.
Found at old home 1800's in S.C.
Any idea on age or type?
Thanks

That looks like part of a oil lamp. The slot in the middle is where the wick slid up and down.

Yep it is definately from an oil lamp. I have found many at old house sites in fields where old houses once stood. You need to slow down and take another look at your site.

Thanks guys! Now that I look at is it does seem to be part of a lamp.
This site is an ongoing dig. When time allows.
