Some of the damage my be impact damage, and some may be post depositional, including possible rodent gnawing. The ball has a diameter of 21.6mm and weighs 36.32g. The mass suggests that it was used in a musket. It has a yellow cream patina with some patch of recent damage. Reference: Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.
