Description: | Three different types of post medieval lead shot probably dating from between the 16th and 18th centuries. One is a 'dumbbell type slug' (2 small balls linked by a bar) weighing 5.16g, one is normal cylindrical cast lead shot with casting seam, weighing 18.1g, the third is another piece of cylindrical cast lead shot but has been incised with grooves over it's entire surface, perhaps as an effort to alter the spin or flight of the shot, weighing 15.79g. The shapes of some of them have been re-moulded, probably by impact.
