Description

Cannon, probably cast in the early C19, now upended to form a bollard near the entrance to Fort Blockhouse.

DESCRIPTION: the cannon is orientated barrel-up with the breech set into a concrete pavement so that only around half the length of the cannon is visible and the trunnions (the pair of pivots on the side of the barrel) cannot be seen. It has a tapering barrel with the muzzle mouldings, astragal and second reinforce ring visible. The barrel flares out at the mouth in a muzzle swell and the bore is fitted with a stopper.
