CASTLE, REPAIRS AND UPGRADING
Description:
'[Section Ext 4.7] (i) Coursed squared blocks of breccia (predominant) and a scattering of re-used volcanic trap and Triassic sandstone blocks. Straight joint where this work abuts 4.6 to south-east. The build incorporates some of the battered base below but the extent of this is obscured by growth of moss. Possibly work of 1642-3. The build is constructed in three distinct faces with articulated breaks in angle between them as the wall begins to round the corner of Rougemont. The third face contains a late patch comprising very heavily veined volcanic rubble' (Blaylock, S.R., 1995, 'Exeter City Wall Survey', 44).
