Loftus Brock gives a section of this piece of the wall (Fig. 11) from which it appears that it was nearly 8 feet thick and differed slightly from the normal section already described.

On the inside face above the triple levelling-course of bricks were four courses of rag. the triple bonding-course without a set-back, five courses of rag and a second triple bonding-course.
