angular platforms, and particularly those flankingthe hollows 
in the sides of the hill, to have been placed so that, on a 
sudden emergency, the slingers could hastily arrange them- 
selves in the best position, so as to cover the retreat of 
their friends, and meet an advancing foe. 
I have been led to the belief that these clusters of plat- 
forms were arranged principally for the use of the sling, in 
consequence of their being detached from each other, the 
slinger requiring elbow room. 
The large cluster between the two roads to the north of 
the encampment, I only discovered just before I was leaving 
the place the other day. You will observe that they are 
placed almost at the head of a hollow in the side of the 
hill, extending from the sea cliff, which is much indented 
at that spot, and might have afforded a landing for boats. 
You will see also, on looking more eastward, another cluster, 
apparently placed for guarding a passage for cattle over 
the inner ditch of the probable cattle enclosure. 
The serrated upper edge of the rampart, detached from. 
the main rampart on the south of the camp, which you will 
observe I have made continuous, can be easily traced in 
many parts; while the scolloped line with which I have 
fringed the under side of the main south rampart, is meant 
to represent what I think can be traced perceptibly, of the 
remains of places of shelter for the sentries, formed in the 
facing of the wall; and the same appears to have existed in 
many parts within the camp on the south side, but my plan 
is on too small a scale to mark them distinctly, asI thought 
it was also so in the case of the mysterious small circular 
sinkings on the main walls. On second thoughts, how- 
ever, many of the latter might be marked on the plan if it 
were wished, but I had not time to attempt to do so accu- 
rately when on the spot the other day.
