Description: | A group of nine Post Medieval pistol shots or musket balls made of lead alloy. Several have visible casting seams, and some are impacted or fragmented. They range in diameter from 11.27mm to 13.8mm with another fragment of a much larger ball with a diameter of greater than 15.5mm. They have grey or white patinas. They date from 1600 - 1800 AD. Also in this group of finds is a tapering cylinder of lead alloy which weighs 13.42g (just under half an ounce) and measures 12mm long by 13.13mm diameter at the wider end and 10.7mm diameter at the smaller end. This may be a lead weight, or canister shot, or waste material from lead working.
