towards the WSW. [West South West] is the larger and higher and
has formed the citadel. The sides have been scarped
to an angle of 16° and rise to a vertical height varying
from 22' to 24'. The summit which is level
forms a parallelogram 110' in length by 46' - 48' in
breadth. The gangway which connects this
with the more Easterly division
is 18' in length and 4' in breadth
across the track, and dips to meet the base
court at a level 6' below that of the citadel.
The extreme
length of this division is 86', its breadth at the
dividing trench is 46' which is maintained for some
50' onwards, whence it rapidly narrows running
out to a point towards the E. [East]. Its average
elevation above the ground level is 16'. The
dividing trench on the S. [South] side which from
the position of the gangway is longer & less
abrupt in its fall than that on the other side,
is curved round towards the WSW. [West South West] end of the
citadel and the upcast has been thrown
up to form a covering defence on its outer
