Two halves of a lead alloy musket ball of post medieval date. It is likely that each half is part of the same musket ball. The shot would have been spherical and appears to have been intentionally cut in half. A casting seem is visible on one half and each half has a projecting spru. Dimensions: 14 mm in diameter, 12.6g Half and quartered musket balls are found from 18th century contexts and are believed to have been produced to generate a spraying action when fired from a rifle (Sivilich, 2005, 15).

A complete spherical lead alloy ball, probably a musket ball or shot, of Post Medieval dating (17th Century AD onwards). The lead shot is sub spherical with a projecting sub-oval spru still attached. A casting seem is visible running from one edge of the spru around the musket ball to the other edge of the spru. Abrasion, caused by movement whilst within the plough soil, has resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail. Dimensions: 31mm in length (including srpu), 21mm in width, 43.8g.

A complete iron Shot/Cannonball of probable Post-Medieval date (AD 1600-1700). The object is sub-spherical in shape slightly flattened on two opposite faces. The surface is heavily pitted and corroded with much of the adhering iron corrosion having been removed following its discovery. The size is small either suggesting it was used as grape shot or that it was for a small hand-held cannon (possibly a rabinet (1inch bore). A similar example which can be found on the PAS database is NARC-49A3CE. Dimensions: 25mm in diameter, 62.5g. The object was discovered by the landowner in…

A lead alloy cast musket ball of post-medieval date (c.1600-1800). It has a light brown patina and some straitions on the surface, likely caused by animals chewing it post depositionally (Harding, 2012). The weight was suggest it was used in a carbine (Harding, 2012)., and it's condition makes it likely that it was never fired. Some parts of the casting seem are still visible. Similar shot have been dated to the later post medieval period however the date range should extend into the early modern period as similar projectiles were used in firearms throughout this period.

A sub-spherical lead alloy musket ball, with an euneven surface and some encrustation. The ball is somewhat flattened, which could be the result of impact, or could have occured due to trampling or other post-depositional processed (Harding, 2012). The ball has a dark gray to mid brown patina and the weight suggests it is a pistol shot (Harding, 2012). Dimensions: Diameter 14mm, thickness 10mm weight 8.6g References: Harding, D.F., 2012.

A lead alloy impacted probable pistol ball of post-Medieval date, AD 1500-1800. The ball has been fired and has struck a solid object as it is now somewhat flattened on one side. It is characteristic of balls that have struck a hard flat rough surface at high velocity and can be compared to examples in Harding (2012 :plate 25). The ball has a dark grey patina and the surface is uneven. Dimensions: Diameter 13mm, thickness 10mm weight 6.7g References: Harding, D.F., 2012. Lead Shot of the English Civil War: A Radical Study.

Cast lead alloy musket ball from the Post-Medieval period. The ball is largely intact with a light grey patina and numerous scratches and markings on the surface, likely caused by being chewed or trampled by animals after deposition (Harding, 2012). The mass and weight of the ball suggest it was used as a pistol shot, according to Harding (2012). Dimensions: Diameter 14mm, weight 14.6g References: Harding, D.F., 2012.
