Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. It has a long oval depression on one side, with displaced metal round the edges, perhaps impact damage. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 17.2mm in diameter and weighs 28.14gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arqubus or caliver.
