Lansdown Battlefield and Waller's Wall, Breaches were made in this wall 368 years ago on Wednesday 5th July 1643 to open up a field of fire across the ploughed field. At dusk Waller's Parlimentarians left glowing gunner's matches draped over the stonework to give the impression of military presence but in reality they had retired into Bath. The breaches have since been visibly repaired.
