Coming to the wall proper, it may be noted that at the top of the brick-wall portion, horizontal offsets are provided both on the exterior and on the interior. Provision of the steps on the interior side is understandable, but the same on the outside is certainly not advisable from the point of defence, since it would be very favourable for enemies to climb up the sloping wall.
