gallery, 2 ft; thickness of the outer wall, 4 ft; thickness of whole wall at foundations 18 ft; height of the gallery, 8 ft; height of the highest part as it now stands 23 ft; breadth of the ditch, 13 ft; breadth of the rampart as it now remains, 19 ft. 6 in.
The ditch is now (1774) much filled up with rubbish. The rampart has been formed with earth and stones. The door is strongly installed with a large triangular stone, which stands as firm as when put in; as would the whole fabric, had it not been that many of the stones have been removed for housebuilding."
