Post Medieval cannon ball |
||
| Description |
English: An iron probable cannon ball of Post Medieval date. The object is a corroded sphere of iron. It weighs 414g which is just over 14 and a half ounces. It has a diameter of 49.5mm which is about 2 inches. Unfortunately this size and weight combination does not correspond with known cannon ball sizes. The closest are ammunition for a Serpentine at 1.5 inch diameter weighing 0.75 lb or a Falconet with a 2 inch diameter weighing 1.5 lb. Corrosion may have altered the size and weight, or it may have been used with a non-standard gun. It is also possible that this is not a cannon ball at all, but a ball from a rolling mill. Light cannon were developed in the late 15th century, but this is likely to date from the English Civil War when Doncaster was captured and recaptured several times. |
