Description:
"...The city of Ava is surrounded by a brick wall fifteen and a half feet
in height, and ten feet in thickness: on the inside of which there is
thrown up a bank of earth forming about an angle of forty-five
degrees: on the top of this bank there is a terre pleine, in some
places, of a good breadth, but in others, so narrow as scarcely to
admit the recoil of a gun. The parapet of brickwork is four and ahalf
feet in height, and two in thickness, measured across the
superior slope..."
