Description: | A group of three lead pistol shots dating to the Post-medieval period (AD 1600-1800). The shot balls are sub-spherical with some pitting and flatted areas across the surface, it is unclear if this was caused by firing, impact or post-depositionally. One of the balls has a distinct casting seam which runs circumferentially around the object. The size and weight suggests these were used in a pistol rather than a musket or other small arms.The balls are cream in colour.1.) Diameter 14.19mm, Weight 14.91g.2.) Diameter 14.13mm, Weight 14.01g.3.) Diameter 13.95mm, Weight 13.94g.
