A cast lead musket ball of post-Medieval date, about AD 1600 - 1800. It is 18.8mm in diameter and weighs 34.9g. It has a very neatly trimmed casting seam, and is slightly flattened, perhaps from impact in a soft substance such as clay. The mass suggests it was for use in a musket (Harding, 2012, Lead Shot of the English Civil War: a Radical Study).
