Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of Post Medieval date, dating from AD 1600 - 1800. The ball is spherical and has a yellow cream patina. There is a small flattened area. The casting sprue was trimmed with a single cut from nippers. At 17.6mm diameter and 29.64g, the mass suggests it may have been used in a musket (Harding, 2012, "Lead Shot of the English Civil War: A Radical Study").
