0:17:12 > 0:17:18- We smashed it against a rock to see - if there was anything inside...
0:17:18 > 0:17:24- ..and a large cannonball rolled out - so we brought it to the castle.
0:17:25 > 0:17:30- There must be thousands in the river - since the civil war 4,000 years ago.
0:17:31 > 0:17:35- It's amazing - that this heavy cannonball...
0:17:35 > 0:17:39- ..travelled half a mile - down the river from Cardigan.
0:17:40 > 0:17:45- The river has seen many storms - and floods in four centuries...
0:17:46 > 0:17:51- ..so the ball moved a yard a year to - reach Gwbert to where it was found.
0:17:52 > 0:17:55- The castle - already has one cannonball.
0:17:56 > 0:18:02- The south-side tower has a dent - from where the cannonball struck.

0:18:13 > 0:18:16- ..to bring home - and check their origin online...
0:18:17 > 0:18:22- ..or bring them to the castle - so that they can tell us about them.
