Here it is defended by a double ditch, a bank and 2 rows of Picketing, the inner row upon the Bank; but not so near the Crown but what there was good room for men to Walk and handle their Arms between the Picketing and the inner Ditch.

The outer Picketing was between the 2 Ditches, and laid sloping with their upper ends hanging over the inner Ditch.

The Depth of this Ditch from the bottom to the Crown of the bank was 24 feet.

Close within the inner Plcketing was erected by strong Posts a stage 30 feet high and 40 in length and 6 feet broad.

The use of this stage was to stand upon to throw Darts at the Assailants, and a number of Darts lay upon it for that purpose.
