Could it also be a catapult projectile as well as a cannonball? The use of mechanical artillery and cannons did overlap for awhile in the late Middle Ages. Or the sphere could be a lot older than that and possibly date from Byzantine or Roman times...
Catapult projectiles are much less dressed, they show lots of dimples and bumps, as they don't have to go through a barrel.
