standing, the north-east corner. This drawing showed that, 

 after clearing away debris, the defences consisted here of 

 an inner and outer rampart and three ditches. The inner 

 ditch and great rampart go right round the camp, the middle 

 ditch goes round the outside of the annexes. From the bottom 

 of the ditch to the top of the main rampart, on the strong 

 side of the camp, was 20 feet vertically. 



These are shown in this diagram, consisting of: — 



R — The main rampart, 32 feet wide. 



b — The berm of this rampart, 8 feet wide. 



c — A terrace, 18 feet wide. 



d — A second terrace at the same level as c, 12 feet wide, 



and carrying 

 r — A small outer rampart, 20 feet wide, 

 e — A mound, forming counterscarp of the outer trench. 

 1, 2, 3 — The three trenches or ditches, the outer and deepest, 



No. 3, being 8 feet in depth. 

 Total width, 140 feet. 



It was at the north-east angle of the rectangular work 

 (A) that Mr Eoss unfolded his large plans, and explained 

 them to us as they lay upon the grass at our feet. We 

 then visited the "northern annex" (B), which protects the 

 main work by covering the western portion of its north front, 

 the eastern portion being naturally defended by the marsh 

 (D). We then walked along the grassy rampart of the west 

 front, here consisting of a high bank, which slopes from the 

 rampart at first moderately and then very steeply down to 

 the Lyne water haugh, and forms an extremely effective 

 natural defence. Turning the next corner, at the S.W. 

 of the main work, we came to the "southern annex"
