Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A short section of the casting seam and the remains of the casting sprue are still visible. The ball has a yellowish-grey patina. It is 16.3mm in diameter and weighs 25.51gm. The weight suggests that this would have been used in an arquebus or caliver.
