The metal part looks like a piece of scaffolding pipe, and the yellow part looks like a sleeve to put it over another piece of pipe. With the rounded end, it could be a safety piece for the end of some scaffolding or a fence, so that there's less chance of injury if someone walks into it.
This seems believable. There's fencing all over the area and it's in rough shape in places.
I don't remember where I've seen one before, but I'm pretty sure it's the metal end that is inserted into another pipe, thereby making a visible yellow concrete end.
