THE BAIM \V<)1;KS. 



Altlioiigh ii complete resiirvey of tlie.se works was made, it is not 

 thonglit iieces.sary to iutrodnce here tbe notes relating to any part ex- 

 cept the square. It may be said, however, that the vesurvey of the cir- 

 eular portion revealed no very essential variation fioin the figure given 

 in Ancient Monuments, PI. xxi, No. 1. 



The square, most of which has long been in a pasture, is rather 

 more distinct and inominent than such remains usually are, the walls 

 being from 2 to -t feet high, and the gateways well marked, though no 

 traces of the inclosed mounds remain. The circular portions of tbe 

 works are much Avorn and two sections of considerable length Are so 

 nearly obliterated that the line can not be traced with any certainty. 



Mr. Middleton's field notes relating to the square are as follows, com- 

 mencing at station a at the western corner : 



For the arm leading to the large circle (given only in part here) begin 

 at station c at the north corner of the square and run as follows : 



S. 30° 12' E. 102 ft. I S. 81° E. 54 ft. ; S. 63° 21' E. .50 ft. ; S. 52° 21' E. .50 ft. ; S. 64" 

 E. 145 ft. 



CHECK LINES. 



The angles at the corners are — 



a ^0° 47' 



c 89 20 



e 90'; 04' 



g 89 40 



It is apparent from these notes and PI. XL, representing this in- 

 dosure, that it a])proximates very closely a true square. The great- 

 est variadon at the corner from a right angle is only 47 minutes. The 

 average length of the sides is 1,117 feet, from which the extreme 

 variation is only 12 feet, the difference between extremes being but 21 

 feet.
