of a ridge by a deep and wide cutting athwart
it. The summit of the mound is oval lying
with its main axis N [North] and S. [South] and measures
[blank] ft. [feet] in length by [blank] ft. [feet] in breadth. It has been steeply
scarped all round with an elevation varying
from 18 ft. [feet] at the S [South] end. to 24 ft. [feet] on the E [East] and
22 ft. [feet] at the side of the cutting on the N. [North] and
has been surrounded by a ditch probably
wet, some [blank] ft. [feet] in width where the counter-
-scarp remains on the N. [North] and S. W. [South West] and [blank] ft. [feet]
in depth Towards the E. [East] at an elevation some
8 ft. [feet] below the summit level the slope of the
scarp is broken by a shoulder or terrace
From the S S E [South South East] a gangway across the ditch
and the lowering of the gradient of the scarp above
it shows the line of a roadway to the summit
entering on the western half of the oval
which has been slightly hollowed and lies at
a level some 5 ft. [feet] below that of the Eastern
is broken by a shoulder or terrace
From the S S E. [South South East] a gangway crosses the ditch
and the lowering of the gradient of the scarp above
it shows the line of a roadway to the summit
half. On the crest of the scarp on the N N W. [North North West] there
rests a heavy bastion like mound which appears
to some extent to be composed of rubble
to which mortar is adhering: elsewhere
there is no trace of a parapet mound. To the
E [East] of this mound for a distance of some 80 ft [feet]
the scarp lies at an easier gradient as if there
