Description: | Lead shot. Cast ball with a circumferential flattened band from set up and a ring impressed in one side, this being at right angles to the gun barrel, as inferred from the set up. Lightly patinated. The impressed ring indicates this ball has been fired from a breech loading pistol with a 'turn off' mechanism. This style of breech loader was especially popular during the English Civil War, and the proximity of a fort overlooking Trent Falls may be related to this discovery. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 14.5mm, Weight: 17.09gms.
