  ten feet by twelve; and fifteen or sixteen high; arched with free…stone;
  and supported by small circular columns of the same; the
  capitals and arches Saxon。  It has an east window; and on each
  side in the wall; about four feet from the ground; a stone basin
  with a hole and iron pipe to convey the water into or through
  the wall。  This chapel is one of the buttresses; but no sign of it
  without; for even the window; though large within; is only a
  long narrow loop…hole; scarcely to be seen without。  On the left
  side of this chapel is a small oratory; eight by six in the thickness
  of the wall; with a niche in the wall; and enlightened by a
  like loop…hole。  The fourth stair from the ground; ten feet west
  from the chapel door; leads to the top of the tower through the
  thickness of the wall; which at top is but three yards。  Each
  story is about fifteen feet high; so that the tower will be seventy…five
  feet from the ground。  The inside forms a circle; whose
  diameter may be about twelve  feet。 The well at the bottom of
  the dungeon is piled with stones。''…Gough's _Edition Of Camden's
