County: York
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A complete lead-alloy musket ball or pistol shot of Post-Medieval date, c.1600 - 1900. The object is spherical with a faint casting line around the circumference. A flat spot is present to one side of the object which may indicate impact or be the result of ramming into a weapon.
