Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A shallow oval depression where the casting sprue was removed is still visible. The ball has a yellowish-grey patina. It is 16.7mm in diameter and weighs 24.49gm. The weight suggests that this would have been used in an arquebus or caliver. (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.)
