The base of a bastion on the W. side of Goring Street was
uncovered and surveyed It was 26 ft. wide and projected 15 1/2
ft., standing on a foundation of flint and puddled clay
surmounted by a bed of chalk. The facing of the bastion consisted
of coursed ragstone, battering outwards towards the base and
standing on a projecting footing-course. 8 1/2 ft. above the
foundation was a double course of bricks not carried through the
wall. The filling of the bastion contained lengths of stone
coping, a cornice, a fragment of an inscription, and a fragment
of frieze carved with running hares (now in Guildhall Museum).
