Excerpt: ... are now scattered, extends nearly north and south 140 m.-- 460 ft. -- and east and west about 16 m. to 26 m. -- 50 ft. to 80 ft.--thus forming a rectangle of 140 m. X 20 m. -- 460 ft. X 65 ft. To determine the exact size of the building I proceeded to measure each compartment for itself, judging that the total number of these apartments, adding to their sizes the thicknesses of the walls, would finally give, within a few decimetres, the exact length and width of the house. On the ground plan I have numbered this building B} Beginning at the north-west corner, I ran my line almost due east to within 10 m.--33 ft. -- of the circumvallation, where I found the north-east corner indicated by a broken post of wood. Along this line I met the following sections from west to east: 2.92 m.-- 9 ft. 6 in.; then a gangway, 1.55 m. -- 5 ft.; chamber, 3.22 m. -- 11 ft.; gangway, 1.21 m. -- 4 ft.; and three chambers, 2.09 m., 2.72 m., and 2.72 m.-- 7 ft., 9 ft., and 9 ft. -- respectively, thus giving, adding to it eight walls of a uniform thickness of 0.33 m.-- 13 in., -- a total width of 19.07 m. -- 63 ft. Its length was easily found to be 8.56 m. -- 28 ft; the northern appendix, therefore, forming a rectangle of 8.5 m. X 19 m. -- 28 ft. X 61 ft, -- and containing, as the ground-plan shows, ten rooms and two corridors, the latter running through the structure from north to south. It will also be noticed that the two middle rooms are the largest, measuring each 4.28 m. X 3.22 m.-- 14 ft. X 10 ft. I must also advert, here, to the fact that this structure is extremely ruined, and that the east part of it exposes the surveyor to dangerous errors.
