at its highest point measures about 6'.6" in height
on the outer face and about the same on the
inner. At the W. [West] end it is distant some 27'
from the second rampart and passing Westward
the distance increases till it is nearly 50' at
the opposite side. The intermediate rampart
is somewhat lower than those on either
side measuring about 3'.9" in height on the
outside and 4' on the inner. The ditch
which separates the middle from the inner
line measures 21' across. and is some
5'.6" in depth below the crest of the scarp.
The inner rampart is some 3'.6" in height
above the interior. At 63' along the
outer rampart from the W. [West] end there is
a break or entrance 10' wide flanked for a distance of some
23' by a return of the rampart on the W. [West] side.
This flanking defence, however is not continued
to meet the intermediate mound but stops
at a distance of about 6'.6" from it.
Along the scarp of the middle rampart
there appears to have been a wall some 4'.6" thick
On the W. [West] the defences come to the very edge
of the steep bank but on the E. [East] between
the end of the outer rampart and the abrupt
slope there is a space about 20' in width
