Post Medieval lead alloy shot or ball. Probably unused or spent. It has been modified by chewing. Though the chewing could remove mass from the ball, it was still done as the chewing caused greater damage to it's intended target. Modern bullets with hollow points are manufactured for a similar reason. Diameter approximately 10mm and weight 5.33g. Probably dating to between c1600 and c1900 AD.
