facing the plateau, there is no ditch, but there are sHght traces of 

 a rampart, and the slope between the rampart and the plateau 

 appears to have been artificially steepened, and for the first fifty feet 

 from the end of the ditch this bank was cut back into a deep scarp, 

 as shown on the Plan, B — B, and in Section B. This scarp is now 

 entirely filled up level with the rest of the bank, and there is no 

 evidence of it on tlie surface. 



Section B. 



On the south-western side the entrenchment ends abruptly at 

 that point where the hill becomes steep and the descent un- 

 interrupted from the summit to the level of the plain below. 

 From this point along the south side there is no evidence of any 

 defence except that afforded by the natural steepness of the hilb 

 but on the extreme south-eastern corner, where the hill swells out 

 and forms a spur or shoulder, there are two short sections of ditch 

 and traces of a slight rampart above them. (S S on plan.) 



Emerging from this rampart, and having the appearance of being 

 a continuation of it, a slight bank follows round the curve of the 

 hill for a short distance ; it then turns down and in a straight line 

 Idescends the very steepest part of tlie hill, the last few yards being 

 almost ])recipitous. It ends at tlu^, foot of the hill, iind if it eviM- 

 continuiMl over the level ground beyond all trace of it has now
