The height of the rampart at this spot from its crest to the top

 old turf in this section, 7ft. The seam of decayed turf on the old 

 surface was here much thicker than at any other point, and two 

 seams of turf ascended from it into the body of the rampart in two 

 horn-like projections. It was thought at first that these seams of 

 decayed turf were evidence that the rampart had been added to 

 at various dates, and the appearance of a similar seam in Section 

 " C " seemed strongly to confirm this supposition. It also appeared 

 significant that relics were found in the seams of turf and nowhere 

 else in the body of the rampart. If these seams of turf represented 

 old surfaces which had accumulated between the periods when 

 additions had been made to the rampart, the earlier and later 

 rampart would very probably have been found to be the work of 

 successive races. This point had, therefore, altogether too
