This looks like a portion of a plastic-covered concrete filled bollard, something like this.

It does except it's only about 6" long.

That's why I said a portion of one, I'm fairly sure that's the top six inches or so that got broken off. What's the bottom look like?

EDIT: A comment or above saying gate post might also very well be right. Whatever specifically, my guess stands on it being some kind of post of some sort.

It's hollow but the whole thing is only 1" in diameter...

Honestly I'd go with gate or fence post then, something like that
