Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Wiltshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete post-medieval lead cloth seal, dating to the period 1500-1700. It is incomplete insofar as it is one of two discs from a two disc cloth seal.

Object type: SHOT
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Hampshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An iron spherical object, probably dating to the later post-medieval/ early-modern period, of uncertain function. It weighs 136.29g and measures 33.17mm in diameter. The patina is rough and pitted, and dark brown in colour.
PAS colleague Sue Walker suggests '[It] could be from an 18th -19th century lawn cannon, most of them have quite small muzzles but nonetheless are fully functional. Or it could be just the decorative shot that sits next to one'. Peter Reavill comments that iron balls such as this were used as a grinding mechanism in mills.
