platform of B period by spaces which are not equal on all sides, or even on
corresponding sides ; and as its walls do not lie quite in the same axial direction
as the platform, the spaces vary in breadth very slightly also on the same side.
On the east the interspace
^ivfe^i^fl *± narrows from 1 • 50 at the
south end to 1 "40 at the

the east. But there is rather
a serious discrepancy between
the whole interval on the
north and that on the south.
Of the west wall, we found
a trace at the south-western
corner (Fig. 20). The bed-
level of the walls of this inclosure, which rest on white clay, is also variable,
ranging from — 4'50 on the north down to — 4"70 on the south. It should
be said further that only the merest foundations remain at any part, the
upper courses having been more completely removed than from any other
Primitive walls. The outer
facing has been destroyed on
all sides by the Croesus
builders, who, as will be
noticed later, put in founda-
tions of a rectangle which
encroaches on the outside
periphery of the one we have
been describing (Fig. 21).
In spite, however, of this
enclosure not having the B
Basis quite truly in its longi-
tudinal axis, there seems no
choice but to refer it to the
first restoration (B). If its axial direction is not quite the same: as that of the
B platform, it accords still worse with that of the Basis of A period : while the
discrepancies between the north and south intervals are as serious in the 1
