width with a low mound on the outer edge & a scarp some 6' in height is
carried round to meet the side of the rocky
face. There appears to have been an approach
to the summit from the W. [West] some 3' to 4' wide
past the termination of the defences and along
the edge of a steep scarp which rises
from a somewhat irregular terrace at 6' lower
elevation than the lowest line of the defences

across the top are three parallel ridges of
outcropping rock some 20' or thereby in
width rising to a height at most of 6' or 7'
