Lead shot. Cast ball, possibly with slight traces of a circumferential belt arising from 'set up' at the time of firing. The mass, at just under one averdepois ounce, would be apt to a smoothbore firearm of military specification. The slight surface irregularity of this ball suggests local rather than industrial manufacture. However, the total lack of patination may indicate a later date than is usual, unless disturbance from a sealed context can be adduced. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1850. Diameter: 17.1mm, Weight: 27.77gms.

Lead musket ball. Cast ball with mould line and an untrimmed casting sprue. The mass, which is over one averdepois ounce, indicates this could serve in a smooth bore musket of military specification. The sprue would not prevent the ball being used so long as it was positioned in line with the gun barrel. It could be deliberately left on a shot intended to be included is a paper cartridge along with its propellant charge of gunpowder.

Lead possible shot. Cast shot, flattened by impact on one side and with a crazed and fractured surface, probably the result of extensive post-depositional damage and possibly of heating. The size might suggest this to bewhat remains of a musket ball, while its remaining mass would be apt for use in a pistol. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1600-1800. Diameter: 18mm, Weight: 16.42gms.
