Description: | A lead alloy musket ball. The ball is spherical and has a diameter of 16.3mm. There is no casting spur or distortion. 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 round Sandal Castle during the Civil War in the 1640s. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 1520
