Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A faint casting seam and an oval mark where the casting sprue has been removed can be seen. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 17.7mm in diameter. It weighs 28.42gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or a musket.
