greatly increased in thickness. It is entirely
ruined but appears to have been about 20'
thick. Through the centre of the wall at this
end has passed the entrance the width and
details of which are obscured by the debris.
Running from the face of a rock on the E. [East] flank
there is an outwork of stone which curves
passed the entrance at 33' distant from it
and is carried with a divergence to 50' for 60' beyond
it to the Westward.
This wall at its extremity is 11' thick.
Interjected between it and the inner defence
for a distance of 20' or thereby & 6' distant from it
is a third wall some 18' in thickness
which is brought round from a rock face on
the W. [West]. The approach to the entrance
thus passes round the western end of the
outer wall and is flanked by the intermediate
one till opposite the passage through the
main wall into the interior. The total length
of the enclosure within the inner wall is
some 295' and its breadth across the centre
