Wooden Platforms—The Seven wooden platforms lying to the south of the pillared hall, 30 ft. in length, 5 ft. 4 in. in width and 4½ ft. in height, have been adjudged to be wonderful structures showing much neatness and precision. The logs are staked one above the other bound together by accurately dressed planks. The ancient wood is in marvellous preservation and the edges are so perfect that the very lines of jointure are indistinguishable. The whole was built up with a precision and a reasoned care that could not possibly be excelled today.
