Description: | Post Medieval cast lead-alloy spherical shot (musket ball). The casting seam, with the two halves of the shot misaligned, runs around the circumference and the stub of the casting sprue is still attached. There is no sign of impact. Although usually termed 'musket ball' the shot may have been used with other weapons and therefore the term lead shot is usually preferred.The shot has been dated c.1600-1800 in line with the basic usage period for this type of ammunition.
