Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of Post Medieval date, dating from AD 1600 - 1800. The ball is sub-spherical and has a well developed white patina. The two halves of the mould are misaligned and the casting seam is visible. The sprue was trimmed with a single cut from a knife. At 17.4mm diameter and 25.36g, the mass suggests it may have been used in a small musket (Harding, 2012, "Lead Shot of the English Civil War: A Radical Study").
