Of the other structures a series of fourteen walls, all running parallel to each other and of the same length, 51¾ feet, appear to represent an important construction. 'All of them terminated on the west on an open corridor, 24 feet wide, beyond which stretched a similar set of walls in precise correlation with those in the opposite series. These walls exhibit two distinct kinds, namely, a stouter kind and a thinner type. All these walls arise from a uniform level at the depth of 12 feet below the surface of the mound, and have finished ends towards the central aisle. The walls of the thicker type are arranged approximately at equal distances from each other, the interval between them being 17 to 18 feet in figures, and had it not been for the thin walls which intervene between them, it might have been thought that they enclosed a series of spacious rooms.'⁶
