Cannonballs and shot

Stone and iron cannonballs were both used during the Civil War sieges of Scarborough Castle. The range of calibres recovered from the site (from a 5-inch, 7-pound stone shot to a 7½-inch, 56-pound iron shot) indicates some of the variety of weaponry available to both the attacking and defending forces. Small-bore bullets of lead provide evidence of musket use alongside the heavy weapons.
