Description: | Lead shot. Twelve cast balls for a smoothbore muzzle loading firearm. Four have faint traces of a mould line (row A), and 6 have scars where shot was nipped from sprue (rows A and B); patinated overall. The mass and dimensions of these shot may suggest their use with a light fowling piece or 'rook and rabbit' gun. The rarity of manufacturing evidence might suggest these to have been rolled after casting, which may indicate manufacture in an industrial setting. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1700-1800.
