Description: | LeadShot. Probable Cast Musket Ball. This 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. A later date within the suggested range is perhaps more likely. This example is flattened on one side and distorted by impact. 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: 22mm, Width: 18.9mm, Thickness: 13.6mm, Weight: 28.9gms.
