Full Description
NF77SW 30 723 702
Cast-iron ship?s cannon in an advanced state of corrosion. The muzzle and a length of the chase is missing, as are both the trunnions and the cascable, the only other details visible are the much-corroded remains of the base and breech mouldings. The cannon now rests by the side of a track some considerable distance from the sea; it is most likely to date from the late 18th century.
