Description: | This is a cast lead musket ball of post medieval origin found near a second ball CPAT69AC70. As a general rule, musket balls are undateable by themselves, however, if found in context, some better concept of age may be guessed at. In this case, the ball was found just to the north of Montgomery Castle. It may then be reasonable to place this ball with the action that took place as part of the English Civil War in 1644.
The ball appears to have been fired. A second ball was found nearby. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
