I'm the wrong guy to ask.
I'd throw it in a 5 ft deep fire pit and find out.
Actually. Looks like a fuze.
I'd find someone with that rare knowledge I don't have.
Good Luck.

I found these pics on the net ,, these may not be exactly like yours ,, and I am not experienced in CW cannonballs ,,but have heard ,, if they have marks similar to yours ,, it could be a fuse hole . It's best to find an expert ,, and be very careful handling it.
I remember a few yrs back ,, a guy in Virginia would defuse them balls for different folks ,, he was pretty much pretty highly respected in cannonballs and defusing them . Was recommended by many as the go to guy to defuse them things
One day ,, after defusing hundreds of them over the yrs ,, he had one one day that didn't go as planned ,, he lived in a neighborhood,, and was working on it in his driveway,, and it exploded .
