i am not near the inquisitive type that you guys are. i would have called it an "iron pin found - 3/4" open top pipe".

See, in my neck of the woods, 4" Round Iron Found would be sufficient. It's not a pipe, it's not a rod, it's not a pin, it's not an axle, it's not an iron bar, it's not a drill steel, it's not a rail road spike... It's an iron... It's in that 2% sliver of items that you cannot exactly, perfectly describe.

I'd describe it about like this: "Found 4" diameter steel, with 1.25" hole in center, protruding 4" above surface, with nice green briar guarding it" (You fill in the correct numbers) This will make it very identifiable to the next person, who may fill us all in that it is a __________.

FIP=Found Iron Part
Back after the big war the North had an excess of captured guns and artilary which were used in the early surveys of Arkansas and Missouri to mark Section corners. Your monument might be a Civil War antique. I recovered a corner in SE Missouri which was a Iron Morter case. I replaced it with one of my caps and sent the documentation to the Missouri Land Survey.I gave the casing to my son for the time he spent in Rolla

That may make that a part of a male quick connect for some type of equipment.
Alternatively the two lips could be for a special wrench for a hydraulic cylinder head. The piston would be internal. If there is no matching hole 180° from the one visible then that is the inlet point for the hydraulic hose. There would be one generally on the same side at the other end. Given that it is 4" in diameter expect that it be 2'-4' in length.
"4" Diameter Iron Casing" would cover oil well drilling shaft equipment to any form of hydraulic cylinder.

i've seen similar pipe as called for in deeds

John,
It goes without saying that we all made an assumption that it is iron.
I'd even be willing to bet a few beers that it is.

This one's off a John Deere Disk.
Most big cylinders have a couple of holes or notches on the cap so you can use either a special wrench or a hammer and punch to get the cap started to screw it off.
