through a passage 13' in length. The door checks if any
existed have gone & the sides are much ruined
There have been chambers on both sides entering
from the passage, that on the right about 6'.4"
in from the exterior that on the left perhaps a
little further in. The right hand chamber is
entered by a passage through the wall 1'.8" wide and
about 4' long. The chamber itself has been about
10' long but as the roof & outer wall are gone its
other dimensions are unobtainable. The passage
into the chamber on the left seems to have been
about 2'.6" in length & 2' broad. The chamber has
been about 7' long and only about 2'.8" broad,
but its ruined state makes these measurements rather
unreliable as its original form. Some 4' S [South]
of the end of it is the back wall of another
chamber still 6' high and 4'.10" wide. Its length
is unascertainable with certainty as the W. [West] end is blocked
up with ruins but it appears to have been about 7' and
a continuation for other 8' Westward
of its S. [South] wall most probably indicates the position
of the stair. 5'.6" further W. [West] is the S. [South] end
of another small chamber which has been
about 4' wide, & is filled with stones.
Following the curve of the wall from the
E [East] side of the entrance the back of a chamber
