Just to get you in the right mood for my weekend teaser...

Here's a picture of a cannon...

Now this isn't any old cannon... oh no, it's a very special cannon with a very special history.

The cannon is currently situated in a castle described by yours truly as the Jewel in Monmouthshire's Crown...

Find the location f the castle and you should be able to find some information about the cannon.

Now, what I want to know is...

1. Where did the cannon come from?

2. How did it end up in its present location?

Have fun...

Now don't go getting too excited you lot, I'm only offering you peek at a nice view...

Well I think it's an interesting view anyway...... what's your opinion?
