Description: | A lead alloy musket ball. The ball is spherical and has a diameter of 13.6mm. There is no casting spur but there is a small flattened are on one side. The musket was invented in the early sixteenth century, so musket balls are post-medieval in date. It is possible that this example is associated with skirmishes around Sandal Castle during the Civil War in the 1640s. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
