Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. The remains of the casting sprue and the marks where it was removed with nippers can still be seen. The ball has a patchy, medium grey patina. It is 16.7mm in diameter and weighs 26.45gm. The weight suggests it would have been used in an arquebus or caliver.
