Description: | Lead probable musket ball. Ball with nipped stub of casting sprue and three flattened patches of diameter c.8mm, which may arise from use of a ramrod or inclusion of this item in a multiple load. The mass, at just under an ounce, may be apt for use with a light musket, carbine or pistol of military specification. This was reported as part of a group of 80 shot from the same location. Discrete activities may, however, have contributed to an assemblage which might at first sight appear to represent a single event or activity. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800.Diameter: 17.3mm, Weight: 27.13gms.
