Description: | A cast lead alloy musket ball of Post-Medieval date, AD 1600-1800. There are traces of a band of set up around the circumference and the stub of a casting sprue is still visible. It was trimmed with a single cut from nippers. The ball has a light brown patina. It is 16.4mm in diameter and weighs 24.1gm, suggesting that it was used in an Arquebus or Caliver (Harding, 2012, Lead Shot of the English Civil war: a Radical Study).
