A Royal Laboratories 4.7 In, (without a scale we have to take your word for it). Made in 1899 so within the period for the Naval 4.7 In, (the N and crow's-foot indication for Navy). Mounted on several ships that took part in the war and also dismounted and put on a carriage to give a longer range field gun used as land based.
Was it Boer War Cartridge case, (not a shell!) possibly, can it be proved, well if you had a relative there at the time and who was not anywhere else that 4.7's were deployed then yes possible but un-provable.
