The documentary evidence points to the Rock cannon being built and fired at
the mine on the mountain.
Amlwch Port is very small and is unlikely to have been defended by rock
cannon.
Thank you for your description of the method used to fire the cannon.
The accounts I have seen include statements that two miners were burnt in
the face by gunpowder while firing the cannon. The method you suggest is
used could explain the injuries.
