quoit
Peg-tossing disc
A quoit is a ring, typically made of iron, rubber, or rope, that players toss at a stake or peg in the ground, aiming to encircle it or land as close as possible.
The game quoits, played with these rings, resembles horseshoes in its basic objective and scoring.
The word also describes ring-shaped objects more generally, such as the flat circular stones sometimes found at ancient monuments.
