terrace some 17' in breadth with a scarp 7' in
height which appears to have borne a narrow
stone parapet along its crest. Rising above the
terrace at an angle of 25º with a vertical height of
9' or thereby is a second scarp facing a mound
some 5' wide on its flat top and masking a
deep trench 25' in breadth from crest to
crest, 5' in depth below the top of its counterscarp
and 10' below the top of its scarp. Surmounting
the scarp there has been a stony
bank, or more probably a wall, 11' in thickness
but now almost entirely quarried out and
removed but which appears to have been carried right round the summit. Some 28' within this over a fairly
level area there are the foundations of an inner
wall, which has rested on the last above the
cliff, and contained an area measuring some
87' from N. [North] to S. [South] by 72' from E. [East] to W. [West].
Towards the N. [North] the broad mound which
intervenes between the terrace & trench terminates
and the course of the latter is interrupted by an
outcrop of rock. Here from the base there is an easy
approach and along the line it would take, on
the level of the mound & at its termination there is
an oval hollow measuring approximately some
28' in length by 12' in width. To the S'Eastward [South Eastward]
