Description: | A lead alloy Post medieval musket ball dating from AD 1600 - 1800, probably AD 1644. The ball is badly mis-cast and was probably discarded. The two halves of the ball are so badly misaligned that the top of one is in the centre of the other. The casting gale and flange are still present. It is 19mm long, 20.8mm wide and 13.4mm thick. At 17.1g it was probably intended for use in a Carbine (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.). The ball has a light cream patina.
