Back to the anchor ! Presumably this is what a complete one would look like, definitely from the age of sail! courtesy of Alamy (hope i'm not infringing copyright?) pictured at Whitby.
Now the question is, how did it end up that high on the beach, its obviously very heavy. It will be interesting to dig around the ring to check that the anchor chain is definitely not there, if it is still attached then the sheer weight would mean that a ship dropped it very close by. Further investigation is needed.
