Title
Post-Medieval cannon ball
Description
English: A cast-iron ball, probably a cannon ball of Post-Medieval date, 16th-17th centuries.

The ball is spherical with a general corrosion across its entire surface, with one portion of the surface bearing a thicker, sub-conical accumulation of corrosion.

It is 1.25lbs in (imperial) weight.

Another possible function is as a grinding ball for industrial activity, which would most likely date to the 19th century.
