Description: | A lead alloy musket ball of post-Medieval date, circa 1644. A shallow depression where the casting sprue has been removed is still visible. There is also a small, oval depression that is unpatinated and was probably sustained recently. The ball has a yellowish-grey patina. It is 17.7mm in diameter and weighs 31.63gm. The weight suggests that this would have been used in a musket. (Harding (2012) Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study.)
