Description: | Lead Shot. Possibly a Cast Musket Ball. This oval object weighs just over an ounce and would be apt to use with a firearm of military character, unlike the majority of lead shot reported which are lighter and were for fowling pieces. This example is markedly flattened and bears three cuts or nicks, of which the smaller two may relate to its use. Similar objects have been reported from the vicinity, and point to military activity nearby. This is perhaps more likely to have been the training of troops or militia rather than a field of conflict, as no local actions are known to this reporter. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Length: 23.3mm, Width: 20.3mm, Thickness: 11.2mm Weight: 29.74gms.
