What is this ground anchor called?
What you have photographed appears to be a substantial anchor to support an electric or telephone pole. I can't recall the name that was used, but with this information, perhaps you can find out more?
There were also similar ones with a concrete disk at the bottom. But you should not attempt to either dig up or move anything that holds an elstolole in place. The risk is that the spolpen might fall.
Looks like a stag eye, usually a cast concrete lump at the bottom or an "cheese-shaped" iron construction.
Common in the past on the railway.
If you feel the steel cable going up the pole, you can tell if there's tension in it or if it's slack, if there's tension in it, I wouldn't recommend releasing it to move until you have something else holding the pole.

There must be an owner of the pole. Is the pole on your land?
