An incomplete medieval to post-medieval cast lead-alloy circular unifaced token of Powell type 3 dating from about AD 1250-1800.

A lead musket ball dating from the Post-Medieval period, about AD 1600 - 1850. The ball is hemispherical but may have been broken rather than impacted. There are marks on opposing sides of the flat face that may have been made with whatever damaged the ball.

It has a dark cream coloured patina. The mass of this ball suggests that it would have been used in a Arquebus or Caliver if impacted, or in a musket if in…
