Description: | A possible lead alloy musket ball of Post Medieval date, about AD 1600 - 1800. It is sub-spherical and is entirely covered with rough dimples and cavities, some possibly teethmarks likely to have been caused by post-depositional gnawing. The surface damage has obscured any casting or firing details. The ball is 17.5mm diameter and 24.78g. This weight suggests that it may have been used in a small musket (Harding, 2012). The ball is grey and little patina survives.
