Typically it has multiple layers (large, hard and heavy stone blocks on the outside, front and back and smaller rocks and materials between). And there's a gap between a wall being damaged and being destroyed completely. It takes more than one shot to bring down anything that's even remotely well-made. The damage shown seems fairly close to what I'd expect really.

Yeah, I rewatched it earlier, and you do see the cannon ball. I was watching from 2.5 meters away where it looked like the ball had just burst and there was only a smudge without even a crater.
That being said, it's still a rather thin wall, so I'm still not completely happy with the damage.
