Default Leeds small hand cannon

Regarding the small hand 'cannon' found by a mudlarker in Leeds, now in the Royal Armouries:

http://www.leeds.ac.uk/ims/news/hand_cannon.html




I have not been able to find anywhere this has been discussed and was wondering if anyone had either any theories on it or knew more details about it. I am curious if it is complete and if it had a tiller or was stocked, etc. The press release says it is hoop and stave construction but at 240mm that seems awefully small for that type of construction.

Thanks
