steep sides rises to a height of 12' to 14' on the
N. [North] and some 25' on the S [South]. Around the base
except on the SE. [South East] & E [East] where the ground falls
sharply from the base of the rock there has been
excavated a narrow trench some 7' to 10' in

entrance is said to be at the S. [South] and 12' wide.
