 7 feet 4 inches long, 4 feet 9 inches wide, and 7 feet high. They 

 formed a part of the original plan, and were not, like other apertures 

 in some similar structures, filled-up gateways. Around the interior 

 of the wall are arranged ten sets of stairs, .... the highest reaching 

 very nearly to the full height of the wall, and the secondary flights 

 being about half that much ; each step is 2 feet wide ; and the 

 lower flights project within the circle of the higher. They lead to 

 narrow platforms, from 8 to 43 feet in length, on which its wardens 

 or defenders stood." (Catalogue of the Eoyal Irish Academy, p. 120.)
