An incomplete cast iron cannonball of post-medieval date. The cannonball is spherical with a large area (roughly half) missing due to a worn break, possibly as a result of impact. It is approximately 3 inches / 7.5 cm in diameter and weighs 2lb 2.5 oz.
The size and weight of the ball (approximated using the remaining portion) suggests that it would fit a 'Minion' cannon which had a 3.5 inch bore and shot a 4 pound ball. These were used from the 16th century to the late 17th century but saw action in the Civil War as an antipersonnel weapon when it was known as a 'Minion Drake'.

A complete cast iron cannon ball of Post-Medieval date. The cannon ball is sub-spherical and the surface is damaged with numerous score marks and pitting.
The metal is a dark blackish-grey colour with some orange iron corrosion present on the surface. The cannon ball is 61.62mm in diameter and weighs 834g. The size and weight of the ball suggests that it would fit a 'Falcon' cannon which had a 2.5 inch bore and shot a 2 pound ball.

A complete cast iron cannon ball of Post-medieval date (AD 1600-1700). The object is roughly spherical and has a diameter of 55.5mm (2.2 inches). This would place the object within the diameter range of the Falcon cannon.
The Falcon cannon came into use during the latter half of the 15th Century and were mounted on four wheels to make it more mobile, they were widely used during the Civil War.
It should be noted that this object could also be a modern mill or industrial process such as a bearing or crushing ball from a large piece of machinery which, given the find spot, is a possibility.

A possible lead cannon ball of Post Medieval date (c. AD 1500-1700). The object is a misshapen sphere with one face appearing more uniform round and plain and the other surface more misshapen. One surface of the ball is marked by a rectangular iron projection suggesting that the object has an iron core.
The object has a light grey patina and the iron projection is a brownish-red colour. The object is 55.6mm in diameter and weighs 712g.
The weight of this object (approximately 1.5lb) suggests it may have been fired from a Falconet cannon. Other similar crudely cast lead cannonballs are recorded on the database e.g. SWYOR-D58D38. The iron core and rectangular projection may suggest that this is a type of cannon ball called a bar or chain shot. An iron bar would have projected out of this cannonball and joined it to another cannon ball. Smaller but possibly contemporary examples are included on the database e.g. HESH-25A43C. The proximity of the find spot of this object to Skipton Castle could suggest this was a cannon ball used to attack the castle during the English Civil War. Bar or chain shots were commonly used against Parliamentarians in the civil war.

A complete lead-alloy probable cannonball of Post-Medieval date, c.AD 1500 - 1800. The cannonball is spherical with hammered edges making the surface irregular. It is not clear whether the cannon ball has been fired.
The metal has a mid-grey patina and is worn. The object is 32.9mm in diameter and weighs 144g.
The size and weight of the ball suggests that it would fit a 'rabinet' cannon which had a 1inch bore and shot a 0.50 pound ball.

The cannon ball is spherical with an irregular corroded exterior surface.
Due to corrosion it may be smaller than originally made. However, its present diameter and weight may indicate that it was used in a minion cannon.
Diameter: 83.8mm (3.29 inches). Weight: 2184g (4.18lbs).
The minion was a type of smoothbore cannon used during the Tudor period and into the late 17th century.
Cast iron roundshot is rarely found on battlefields, even though records suggest that it was the normal long-range ammunition; cannon may have been so hard to transport that they only arrived after the battle was over. Siege warfare used cannon, as speed was of less importance. A major use of cannon was also aboard ship, where of course there would be no transport problems.
There are several problems with identifying cannon balls found away from known military sites. Spherical stone balls were also used in garden statuary from the 17th century onwards. Iron balls were also used in various industrial milling operations, such as crushing chalk for whiting.
The reporter of this find has researched the area and notes that a demolished fortified Royalist manor house, New Hall Hunsingore, is present on the boundary of the field. The hall is said to have been destroyed by the Parliamentarians after the Battle of Marston Moor, which is just 4.5miles away. The cannonball was found in the field northwest of the Hall. New Hall was next to the ford across the Nidd. It is a Historic England site, and their entry for new Hall states “It was some time after the 1540s that the Goodricke family home was built on the site, probably utilising existing buildings. However, the hall did not last long and it is thought that it was destroyed during the Civil War in the 1640s.” See: Heritage Gateway - Results.

A cast spherical iron cannon ball, which based upon its diameter and weight was fired from a Falconet, a piece of small artillery with a calibre of between 2 and 2 1/2 inches, firing shot of approximately 1 pound a maximum distance of approximately 1000 paces (Roy 1975, 261-263). This example is 49.33 mm in diameter (just short of 2 inches) and weighs 485.9 grams (1.1 pounds). It has a dark brown patina and is well preserved. Falconets were in use from the late 15th to 18th centuries AD.

A cast iron cannon ball of probable post-medieval date. The cannon ball is in fairly good condition, though it suffers from some iron corrosion and the surface metal is flaking in places. The cannon ball has a diameter of 75.2 mm, suggesting it may have been shot from either a Minion or Falcon type of cannon, dating from the late 15th to 17th century. Such cannons were in use during the English Civil War, although whether this cannon ball is related to such activity is difficult to say.

A cast iron Post Medieval cannon ball, probably dating to circa AD 1500 - 1700. The object is spherical in shape with pitting and corrosion visible on the surface. The cannon ball has an orange coloured patina across its surfaces. Abrasion caused by movement whilst within the plough soil may have resulted in the loss of some of the original surface detail and full diameter and weight.
The diameter and weight suggest that the type of cannon used to fire the cannon ball may have been the Demi-Culverin. This cannon had a 4 inch bore and fired a ball weighing 9.5 lb (4309 g).
Gordon Bailey suggests that cannons were first mentioned in early 14th century manuscripts. Cannons were used in the Tudor and Stuart periods for both land and naval battles. The minion cannon was used in the 15th to 17th centuries and thought to have originated from the Civil War period, which could be the period this example dates from. There are other recorded examples on the database; (SWYOR-6D55C3) was discovered in Yorkshire and the Humber. Another example (DENO-06FCC9) was discovered in Nottinghamshire.
It is also worth noting that iron balls were widely used in ball-mills for the production of powers for such things as pigments. Therefore it cannot be said with certainty that this object is a cannon ball as iron balls also had an industrial function.
The cannon ball measures approximately 97 mm (3.82 inches) in diameter and weighs 3364 g (7.42 pounds).

A complete lead or lead alloy cannonball of probable Post medieval dating (AD 1500 to AD 1800).
The cannon ball is sub spherical in shape, with a casting seam around the centre. There are multiple short grooves across the surface, these have probably been created whilst in the ploughsoil. The top of the probable cannonball has some casting voids.
It has a diameter of 83.6 mm and weighs 2,355 g.
The cannonball is a mid to dark grey colour.
