Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. There is a flat facet where the casting sprue has been removed. The ball has a pale, yellowish-grey patina. It is 17.4mm in diameter and weighs 28.76gm. 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.)
