Description
Summary:The cannon site is located in Harbour Main, near Saints Peter and Paul Parish Church, at the top of a small, but high, rocky hill, that is overgrown with thick moss and groundcover. The cannon is partially buried in the moss layer, which covers its vent. There are no clear features near the cannon, and assessing the site is made difficult, again, due to the thick ground cover. Trees block what would otherwise be an excellent view of the surrounding area. The site is well-known to locals, and was a place where children regularly played when a school existed nearby.
