Description:		Small cannon ball. Cannons firing iron balls were in common use from the 14th to the 19th century, and consequently close dating of the ammunition is usually impossible unless it is found in the context of a known battle site. The size of the ball can be an indicator for known cannon types of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the present example is close to the 1.5 inch bore of the ’Serpentine’ cannon.
