Lodged at the base of the trunk, it purportedly landed here during the War of 1759 betweens the British and France. Over the years the cannonball became firmly embraced by the tree.

Selon la légende, ce boulet se serait logé à la base de cet arbre lors de la bataille de 1759 entre les Britaniques et les Français. Avec les années, le boulet de cannon en est devenu prisonnier.
