Anyone any idea what it is? My first guess it that it's a rodding eye
(if that's the correct term).

Thanks

I would say it *is* a rodding eye. That type usually have a pipe that
slopes away down from them.

Yep. Or at least, we have a rodding eye which has an identical cover plate.

Deffo a rodding eye. The odd thing is I can't see any hold-down screws.
Presumably to pull it off you just clear out the central cavity and put
in a hook.

In the first pic I thought the trowel was a nice full size stainless
digging shovel so got the scale totally wrong, second pic sorted that
