Description: | A post medieval cast lead alloy waste piece with seventeen rough cast pieces of shot attached along the sides. There are large casting seams on the pieces of shot and the central waste is larger than the combined shot; this suggests that the piece has been discarded as mis-cast waste. It measures 80.0mm (length) x 20.2mm (width) x 6.1mm (thickness) and weighs 27.33g.Although this form of shot casting went out of 'commercial' use in the 18th century it is possible that this is a homemade attempt and could therefore date from the 17th to 19th century AD.
