Description: | Lead shot. Five cast balls for a smoothbore muzzle loading firearm. Three have traces of a mould line and most show some indication of being snipped from sprue; patinated overall. Associated finds of over 250 smaller shot were probably mostly for light fowling pieces, but, if considered out of this context, these objects might be considered as pistol or carbine ball of military specification.
