Description: | Lead bullets. Two rifle bullets (a and b) of 0.45 inch calibre; both fired, and one (b) compressed and fragmented by a close range impact against a hard surface struck square on. Both bullets have a basal hollow. Their mass may suggest a weapon of military rather than sporting specification. These finds may therefore suggest military practice, possibly by members of a 19th-century body of militia.
