Description: | Lead bullets. Three round-ended rifle bullets and a single possible plug shot (a supplementary load for a smoothbore muzzle loading firearm, though a unique example from a large group of shot recovered and recorded together). Patinated overall. The more recent material illustrates very occasional shooting in the vicinity in modern times, an activity whose sporting heyday appears to have been between the 17th and 19th centuries. Suggested date: Post-Medieval to Modern, 1600-1950.Dimensions and weights:A1: D: 12.5mm, W: 11.26gms (plug shot)A2: D: 9.2mm, L: 13.1mm, W: 7.87gms (possibly a 9mm round, Sten gun or similar)A3: D: 7.5mm, L: 13.6mm, W: 4.99gms (possibly 0.3 inch or .303 round)A4: D: 9.05mm, L: 11.4mm, W: 6.78gms (possibly a 9mm round)
