Object type: BULLET
Broad period: MODERN
County: Salford
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Complete cast lead bullet of modern date (c.AD 1870-1900). The object is cylindrical with a blunt domed point, around which is recent looking circumferential groove. The base is hollow and the edge is slightly splayed. The bullet has 3 circumferential grooves towards the base, each with rouletting.

See SUR-A1A54F; KENT-4CB037 and NCL-8884D3 for comparisons.
