CASTLE, REPAIRS AND UPGRADING
Description:
'[Section Ext 3.6] (ii) Build entirely of coursed breccia. Contains three musket-ports (best seen from the inside of the wall where large breccia slabs act as capping to the embrasures), large breccia coping stones. The build abuts and partly underpins the easternmost pilaster buttress of the corner tower of the castle. This is presumably datable to the Civil War and thus represents a part of the expenditure of more than £400 on the castle in 1642-3: as documented in the siege accounts (Stoyle 1992, 31-46 [REN 4767])' (Blaylock, S.R., 1995, 'Exeter City Wall Survey', 40).
