status: Awaiting validation 
Two lead alloy shots, one probably from a Carbine and one from a Pistol of Post Medieval dating circa AD 1600-1800.
1. This shot is probably for a Carbine and is spherical in form. Carbine shots usually weigh between 16 - 23 grams. One side of the shot has been flattened. The shot has a flattened cylindrical band around the circumference suggesting it has been fired. It is light brown to cream coloured with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface.
It has a diameter of 14.26 mm and weighs 17.3 grams.
2. This lead shot is broadly spherical in shape. The shot is likely from a Pistol, which usually weigh between 7-16 grams. It has a cream colour with an uneven surface patina. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface.
It has a diameter of 12.58mm and weighs 9.7 grams.
