Description: | Two cast lead shot fused together. They are 26.7mm long, 14.0mm in diameter and weigh 31.76 grams. Similar to SUSS-CEBD52.Natasha Ferguson commented on SUSS-CEBD52 : This looks to be canister shot rather than musket balls. Similar examples have been found at Sedgemoor. The canister shot (really just musket balls) have welded together (rather than fused) because of friction within the canister as it is fired from the cannon. Canister shot also have a multi-faceted morphology as they bounce off each other in the air. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
