Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A small, circular depression where the casting sprue was removed is still visible. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 17.1mm in diameter and weighs 28.45gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or caliver.
