‘ The base (of the other column about 20 yards north) is rectangular, about 3′ 3″ square by 3′ 11″ high. Differing from the first column, the base is followed by a concave circular part, about 1′ 0″ high . . . From this there rises a sixteen-sided shaft, each face of which is about 8″ broad, where it starts from the base . . . This column also tapers slightly from bottom to top . . . the fluted bell part of the capital, about 3′ 0″ high and 3′ 3″ in diameter (is) similar in design to the same part of the capital of the other pillar . . . the top has one circular and eight rectangular socket-holes, just as in the top of the lion-capital of the first column.’
