Description: | Musket Ball. Cast ball with a faint possible mould line, and a deep gouge across an area of angular appearance, either a result of impact or post-depositional damage, possibly with some loss of metal. This is grey and lacking patina, like that of two other balls reported from the same location. This may suggest either a relatively recent date or recent disturbance from a sealed context. The mass, qualifies it as for use with a smoothbore muzzle loading firearm of military specification. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 17.4mm, Weight: 25.84gms
