A cache/hoard of 29 cast lead alloy musket shots ranging in diameter from 9-15mm. It includes 5 shots of very small size (c. 9mm in diameter), 23 of medium size (ca. 10-15mm in diameter) and one large shot of about 15/16mm in diameter. None of the shots have been fired and some still display casting seams. One shot seems to have been cast just before losing/hiding the cache. Although found together, no evidence of a bag or pouch remains.
