Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 16mm in diameter and weighs 24.26gm. The casting seam and trimmed sprue are visible. The weight suggests it would have been used in a small musket. (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.). There is some surface pitting.
