Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of Post Medieval date, about AD 1600 - 1700. It is sub-spherical and the casting seam is not visible. There are many dents and dints, most patinated, but still probably post depositional damage. The ball has a well developed crazed white patina. The weight suggests it was for use in a musket (Harding 2012, Lead Shot of the English Civil War, page 31). 18.5mm diameter, 34.01g.
