This bronze wheel is a sheave from a rigging block, and was found in the starboard scourpit outside the Mary Rose.
Bronze wheels were used for heavy-duty or critical work, so this may have been part of one of the main blocks used to raise and lower the yardarms.
This is one of the less ornate sheaves found, but it is unusual in that it had nine spokes, normally sheaves would have some symmetry. It also has the Broad arrow mark on it, usually considered to have been introduced as a government marking dating from the 17th Century, but clearly was in use much earlier. While this could be put down to this being a later object that somehow made is way into the site, several other objects, including a gun carriage, also feature this mark.

The rigging on the Lady Washington, tall ship moored in Astoria, Ore. Apparently the ship was in the movie Pirates of the Caribbean.
Mast and rigging of the tall ship Peacemaker. The Peacemaker is owned by the religious group the Twelve Tribes. The Peacemaker, originally named Avany, was built on a riverbank in southern Brazil using traditional methods and tropical hardwoods, and was launched in 1989. The original owner and his family motored in the southern Atlantic Ocean before bringing the ship up through the Caribbean to Savannah, Georgia, where they intended to rig it as a three-masted staysail Marconi rigged motor sailer. The work was never done, however, and in the summer of 2000, it was purchased by the Twelve Tribes, a religious group with 50 or so communities in North and South America, Europe, and Australia. They spent the next seven years replacing all of the ship’s mechanical and electrical systems and rigging it as a barquentine. The refit vessel set sail for the first time in the spring of 2007, under the name Peacemaker. The Peacemaker has a large deckhouse and spacious cabins finished in mahogany, modeled after the interior of the Cutty Sark. It also has an innovative transom that can be lowered while in port to reveal a watertight bulkhead with two large doors opening into a cargo area and fully equipped workshop. (Info Wikipedia)
