Description: | Post medieval cast lead alloy musket ball, 17.0mm in diameter and 26.31 grams in weight. There are faint traces of a casting seam and several dents and flattened areas, possibly from firing of post deposition damage. Lead bullets such as these were used from c1550 - 1850, most of them are likely to date from the 17th - 18th century as post-1800 most shot was made in shot towers rather than cast. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
