It's an iron ring but what was it used for?

Looks like a repair link for a chain.
this, it also looks similar to how you set up a link to be forge welded when making chain

It's a manufactured repair link.
I've made chain by forge welding links, and you don't have that kind of gap when you're preparing a weld.
Also, it's very difficult to forge links that perfectly uniform. You often weld them and then refine the shape to be what you want in the end.
