Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. The ball is slightly deformed, perhaps poorly cast, and has some impact damage from a glancing blow. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 17.7mm in diameter and weighs 28.89gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arqubus or caliver.
