Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A casting seam and a circular mark where the casting sprue was removed can still be seen. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 16.9mm in diameter and weighs 26.74gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or musket.
