A nice collection of shot (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c1vvkxwg11zo) from the 1266 siege. The 105kg one must have taken a fair sized engine to heave it. I do wish they wouldn't use the word "fire" for a mechanical weapon, though.
but where did it land.....? ;D

Good question. They seem to have been found beneath the walls, so maybe in the moat (Kenilworth had a huge moat). A proper write up would be good, with details of find spots to be able to locate likely shooting locations and a detailed look to see if the had hit something solid before coming to rest.
hopefully not something soft and squishy
