by an outer wall or strong rampart now over:
:grown with grass, terminating on the N. [North]
side of the entrance which faces the
South East, and along the Southern arc,
where the gradient immediately in front
is easy, apparently by three outer
walls. The innermost of these three
is clearly observable along its whole course and
is distant from the main wall some 9 to
10 feet. The two outer walls are only to be
seen stretching for a short distance
Westward from the entrance. Elsewhere
they have been entirely eradicated but it
is probably that they were carried round
the South front to meet the face of the
steep bank on the West. The entrance
has been approached by a passage,
with a built wall on each side, 12 ft. [feet] wide
measured at a spot where both walls are evident,
and traceable outwards for a distance
of 95 ft. [feet], its commencement being probably

outermost wall is situated. At the
actual entrance to the interior the mass
of debris indicates that the walls of the passage,
