444 liANYHOEN CASTLE. 



There the end of it coincides with another wall that appears 

 by the Dungeon that constitutes the easterly side of the Dungeon 



itself a little to the right of the door in the warehouse, 



and ran on within these six or seven years .... feet thick and the 

 slighter because of the fall in the ground there, to meet the 

 high wall above, and to be the back wall of the eastern range of 

 rooms, a part of it then fell down with age ; and the break in it 

 has been left unrepaired, as it opens a new road of access to the 

 houses there under the cliff. 



We have thus made the circuit of the castle-eourt, we have 

 noted the disposition of the parts, where we had any notes to 

 direct us ; we have also pointed out the position of two of the 

 towers. Let us now note the position of two more. One of 

 course was over the gate of entrance. Another was over an 

 opposite gate on the east ; I suppose for a way into what was 

 then the Garden of the castle ; a kitchen garden I believe was 

 all that was then aimed at. And this lay, I doubt not, upon the 

 ground running parallel on the east, which has been equally 

 with the castle area levelled apparently by the hand of art ; and 

 which, however, had no part of the castle upon it, as the termi- 

 nation of walls shows, and as the non-appearance of any stones 

 above or under the ground confirms. 



We have now four of the seven towers accounted for. But 

 where shall we find the other three ? We must find them in a 

 second court of which tradition has lost nearly all remembrance. 

 It only said some years ago., that the castle extended to the 

 north of the road, yet the evidence is too clear to be doubted, 

 and yet it is merely to be collected from that faint whisper of 

 expiring tradition, and from some . . minute and vanishing. The 

 more northerly of the two walls above, that which runs so tall 

 and so long towards the east, now comes out to the west beyond 

 the wall and the well-house ; and was cut through about four or 

 five years ago on the west side of the house, to make a way 

 from the house to the long and narrow garden adjoining ; with 

 this breach in its course it goes on about a couple of yards more 

 to the west ; and then ends in a ragged form, that shows it by the 

 freshness of the appearance to have been recently destroyed 

 there, and it appears to have come forward to the same bank on
