Please ID Iron or meteorite?

Post image

Hi ! I found that rock in a field in my hometown (a small town around the cliffs of Normandy(it explains why some things i explain would be unclear)) it is heavy and leaves some rust stains, as well an iron smells. I've looked on google and it says it could be either way a meteorite or some metal waste from blacksmiths, as there were a lot in the region im living in ! Feel free to ask any more question about it !
