Those are a few that archeologists reconstructed as from their remnants in São Lourenço, one of several settlements (Castros) we may see around, that were inhabited since III-II century BC through to Romanization.

cool, almost as old as that warrior ()

I have phoned the city archaeologist. The cannons are still there and there they will be. Too much red tape and misinformation. The state department requires that, among other conditions, stainless steel tanks must be provided to plunge the cannons and submit hem to anti-corrosion treatment (electrolysis). When the State dropped the city hall licence application, the tanks were already there, but they didn't now. It will be another zillion years to achieve the necessary authorization to rescue the cannons; which is no easy task, due to their localization, sandwiched between rocks.

Well, "Nando, judging from that mighty warrior pic of yourself from earlier, you could always swim to the bottom and bring them up yourself-

Thanks for continued postings on this fascinating wreck.
