A cast lead double musket shot of post-Medieval to Modern date (c. 1550-c. 1850).
The shot is spherical and has a diameter of 1.9mm. It has a circumferential casting seam aligned with a small integral circular bar that has a diameter of 4.4mm. This protrusion appears to be a bar rather than casting sprue.
One shot and part of the bar are missing due to a break.
Length: 15.0mm; diameter: 11.9mm; weight: 10.51g.
This has been noted as an interesting find by the recorder.
