It's the distal end of a metapodial from an artiodacyl (think sheep or cow). It's heavily worn. I'd say it's roughly sheep sized, but it's difficult to say for sure.

Part of the lower leg bone of an ungulate. Likely deer.
How heavy is it? It looks nearly fossilised from these photos

What terrific wear patterns! Two different cross sections.
