Notes

This drawing shows part of the south arcade and the south wall of the western projecting wing. The design is similar to SM 67/5/6 with blind arcading framing round-arched windows on the ground floor and shorter round-arched windows on the upper storey. The main difference is in the cornice design however, which this drawing shows with a roundel-metope separating the triglyphs and on top, a balustrade framed by pedestals, surmounted by S-shape patterned stonework, between antifixae either side.
