Three lead alloy shot / balls, of probable post medieval or early modern date (1600-1800AD). The two larger shots are probably from a carbine and the smallest from a pistol. All of the shots are sub spherical in shape and some show evidence of casting seams from the moulds. The two largest probable carbine balls have a rough surface so have probably been fired. The pistol shot is smooth so may not have been fired. The colour of the balls varies from light to dark grey colour to a mid brown colour. Similar shot has been dated to the later post medieval period however the date range sho…

An incomplete copper alloy buckle of Post-Medieval date circa AD 1660-1720. The buckle is a sub-annular shoe or knee buckle with a drilled frame for a separate spindle.
