A complete post medieval lead alloy shot probably from a flintlock military wall gun dating between 1700-1800 AD.

A discoid, cast lead artefact, probably a weight of uncertain date, Medieval to Post-Medieval, or an ingot. It is a circular disc of lead, thicker on one side. The top face is smooth and slightly concave. The sides and base are rougher, probably from being cast in sand. It is 30mm in diameter and 10.7mm thick. It weighs 65.9g. The mass does not easily equate to any standard system of weight measurement, so it is probably a bespoke weight or lead that has been melted into a makeshift ingot for ease of storage. It has a grey patina.
