Summarised from report:
The northern casemated musketry gallery is contained on two floors reached from the north-west caponier. The lower floor has four casemates of the usual type and details, with two vertical loops in each. The gallery proceeds through the centre of the party walls but the roofs are formed by the flat slate floors of the upper level. The upper level, reached directly from the first floor of the caponier, has a flat floor of slate slabs and four casemates with semi-circular vaults. All other details are identical to the lower floor. (1)
