Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A pair of small, oval depressions with a central ridge between them remain visible, indicating where the sprue was removed with nippers. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 16.4mm in diameter and weighs 24.61gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or caliver. (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.)
