Thanks to the replies from my previous posting I have now found out more
information about rock cannon and have been able to locate three examples at
Parys mountain.
The cannon found may have been the ones reported to have been used on at
least two occasions in 1821 to celebrate the Coronation and the birth of an
heir to the local mine owner.
More information on the rock cannon found including pictures and dimensions
can be found at the web site below.
