If it's made of lead it's a round ball, but it looks like iron when I enlarge the pictures. If it's iron, it's not.
 

It's really heavy for its size so I think it's lead.

If it is not magnetic it is probably a musket ball. If you own or can get a set of calipers it will help.
 

With no size reference, it could be a canister shot, musket ball, pistol shot, 12 gauge shotgun shot, who the hell knows??........
 

Crusader is right, can't say without knowing the size. At least on this side of the pond, rifle balls are the most common muzzleloading round ball find.
