Brent, it's a large QR skewer nut with a cylinder the diameter of a handlebar. This is for mounting a headlight. It's not ideal because with the light so low, aiming the light is tricky. If it's too low, it doesn't light the road, and if it's too high, it goes into other people's eyes. I check it every time I go out.
