Pirate cannonball in Glynymel Road This cannonball was unearthed in the garden above. Its size and shape suggest that it was fired from a pirate or privateer ship in the harbour since it resembles the description of the cannonball that injured a local resident, Miss Mary Fenton, sister of the merchant Samuel Fenton who built the harbour walls and main warehouse during the latter part of the 18thC. It is recorded that a privateer, probably Stephen Manhant, entered the harbour in 1779 and fired cannon shot into the village.
