This cannonball may be from the Battle of Newburn in 1640, when royalist forces of Charles I clashed with Scottish Covenenters, though it could also be from action during the Civil War.

A cast iron cannonball of Post-Medieval date, probably dating to 1640 or later.
The cannonball is spherical with an even coat of corrosion across its surface. There may be some indication through the corrosion of the flashmarks, from the two moulds from which the ball was cast.
The weight is approximated at 2.5kg or 5lbs.
