Baghott. Random rubble limestone. Section of wall to north of
house adjoins entrance terrace with various circular and triangular
bastions, partly ruined. Some trefoil-headed lancets with iron
ferramenta, designed to suggest more extensive fortress. Two round
profile string courses, lower part of wall battered. To south of
the Mansion, main terrace wall set at higher level, terrace walk

opening with doorway to cellar, this interrupting the higher level
