 the water was about 20 yards in diameter, with a spur out of it toward

 covered with flat stones, as well as the west side below the level of the 

 water, for about 1 J yard on an average. To the north and south-west 

 spurs ran out, both being about 4 yards long, measured from the edge

 below the water line, was covered with small shingle. Below the water, 

 on the north-east, a number of parallel logs of round ash timber, about

 the east side. Only a few oak piles were remarked, three being observed
