The first feature on this section of the Walls is the Double Bastion. So called because of a dividing wall built in 1689, it contains the famous 'Roaring Meg' cannon donated in 1642 by London Fishmongers. When used during the Great Siege it was said that: 'the noise of the discharge was more terrifying than were the contents of the charge dangerous to the enemy'.
It was on this bastion also that the siege Governors erected a gallows and threatened to hang all their prisoners if the besieging army harmed any Williamite sympathisers captured outside the Walls.
