Cast lead diver's weight acting as a strap junction for a metal and leather belt, with two rectangular openings, one in each terminal of the junction. One opening has been flattened in the centre, which may have been done deliberately to fix it more firmly to the strap. Both upper and lower surfaces are marked with several oblique gashes on either side which may have happened underwater or since being in a ploughed field.
