and by a longer slope on the West to a height of 20ft. [feet]. The
area enclosed is pear shaped coming to a
point towards the South and measuring [blank]
by [blank]. A deep hollow forms a recess in the
summit area on the North end. Some 45 ft. [feet]
back from the trench on the west, 90 ft. [feet] on the South
and 104 ft. [feet] on the East, has been a wall
running Southward from the edge of the recess on the North
and thence from the South end Northward following the crest
of a steep natural scarp forming the last
side of the summit. Some 70 feet within this wall
on the West and 81 ft. [feet] on the South & [resting] on the previously mentioned ^ wall on the East, an inner
wall is met with of low elevation & greatly
dilapidated encircling the actual summit
which measures some 86 ft. [feet] by 79 ft. [feet] in diameter.
The main entrance passes over the trench on
the West on unexcavated ground with a width of 27 ft. [feet] & 11 ft. [feet] as it passes thru' the mound ^ above it
and proceeds by a track up to the steep
slope to pass through the intermediate wall
being faced where it does so by a rocky out:
:crop which continues to flank it as it turns
in a Southerly direction. There appears to
have been a "postern" on the South where a
gangway crosses the trench in front of a
point of rock to either side of which the track
bifurcates. A third entrance seems to have
existed through a narrow gap opening into
