[at 1.60 m north of the S.W. corner the bedrock is at level - 1.36 m; at 8.85m north it is level - 0.96m; and at 14.20m north it is a level of -58 m. These levels are taken at the foot of the west face of the wall. The foundations consist of rough & rubble and project ca. 10 cm and 0.04m from the east face of the wall; wherever examined below the S.W. corner and north of a certain point it is considerably wider than above. On the east face few project anywhere beyond the west course of the wall north of the buttress the first course overlaps the foundation course at the S.W. corner. The top of the foundation at 1.60m north of the S.W. corner is at level - 1.12m; at 5.50m north it is at level - 1.08m; and at 6.58m it is at level - 1.06m where it is narrower than wider than the buttress (see photo, fig. )
