Is this meteorite?

Without sample analysis by a recognised lab, there is no way to tell for sure.

The vast majority of rocks that are suspected of being of meteoric origin turn out not to be.

Try contacting these people, they will be able to advise further:

Looks like industrial slag to me.

That's what I thought.

I was hoping someone would come in ahead of me on offering industrial slag. (Don't like to be the first to be slapped down if wrong!).

As a kid me and my mates thought we had found wonderful meteorites on a road building project before it all got tarmacked over. Looked just like the samples pictured.

Yes, blast furnace slag I'd guess,

Hello and a warm welcome to the SGL. Not meteorite I am afraid.

Hi Jay, welcome to SGL from me way down south.  Another place you could ask your question is here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/meteoriteclub/

I am in agreement with others, looks like slag, sorry.

You can find micro meteorites in your gutters.

It deffo looks like slag to me

Found loads of this metal detecting.  It amuses me quite often how more people suggest it is meteorite before even considering the more likely industrial connection 😁.

You can find this stuff dumped all over the place

Yup, another vote for slag from me.
