Description: | A Post Medieval lead-alloy musket ball, dating from c.AD 1700- AD 1800.The musket ball is spherical in shape and has a broad raised strip around the circumference. There is a large semi-circular impression at one point along the broad strip, which may indicate removal from the barrel with an implement known as a 'worm'. The surface is smooth and has a whitish gray patina.The broad strip suggests that the musket ball was for use with a two groove rifle and is probably of a post 17th century date.
