Wonder what it's called and where it can be purchased?
 
  • Iron stake with a loop embedded in the ground, with a metal chain attached, surrounded by soil and rocks.
Ground anchor maybe?

a little hard to judge from the picture, but they seem a bit slender, though pictures can be deceptive. Maybe they can work for the purpose anyway.
 
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?

you are on the right track - it is a wire that supports an electric pole.

spot on!!
In other words, it's anchored in the rock.
Then it's probably not worth trying to move it.
I need to anchor it somewhere else as it is in the way of an upcoming frigga.
It's probably best to put down a new one in a suitable place and cut the old one.
 
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?
 
Anchor plate with rod. Televerket and the electricity company used these for wooden poles. I have a couple of these on my property.
 
And don't mess with this, as you could be prosecuted and liable for damages.
