I read someplace that cube shaped bullets were for Non-Christians. Other Christians were shot with round bullets.
I think that arrow point type is called a Bodkin. It's iron or mild steel and designed to penetrate body armor. I've shot similar points from a longbow. Most arrow points are wider and flatter and sharp to cut flesh. The Bodkin is meant for armor and it is very strong on penetration. They were used for both crossbow bolts and longbow arrows. I believe the design is from the British Isles.

Yes that's correct. The ones with a slimmer design, would also go through chain mail.
Alan, I've been making and shooting longbows since I was a kid. (I'm 53) You live in the land of Robin. I would hope you'd know a Bodkin from the hole in the ground from whence it came.
You must have a lot of fun with a detector in such an old country. I'd love a shot at Roman coins.

I guess that was ammo for hand catapult / so called sling
Good lord, one arrow in the head wasn't enough?
