the centre of the curve where has been the entrance towards the North West
three walls have defended the area but
on the Northern arc round to the North
East the intermediate wall has been
dispensed with, The innermost wall
as are the other, in a complete state of ruin
has measured some 5 ft. [feet] in thickness
the second wall of similar thisckness has
been situated some 8 ft. [feet] distant from the
former, while the outside wall 8 ft. [feet] in
thickness has lain some 60 ft. [feet] beyond that:
the distance between the two walls of the Northern
arc is some 70 ft. [feet]. The entrance some 9 ft. [feet]
in width as it leads through the outer wall
passes directly to the interior. As the inter:
:mediate wall approaches the entrance it
makes a sudden outward curve and
contains between it and the inner line
what appears to have been a guard
chamber measuring some 21 ft [feet] by 15 ft. [feet].
Similarly the inner wall as it approaches
the steep NE. [North East] end of the site makes a
reversed curve and on the end of it is
formed another small chamber measuring
some 10 ft. [feet] by 5 ft. [feet] which has flanked
what appears to have been a minor entrance
