THE CONCOURSE, OUTSIDE THE GATES |
DESCRIBE ONLINE |
The concourse is a passage which runs west from the gate near the foot of the stairs from the north entrance then turns south and continues, via an up slope, then down 4 steps to the foot of the stairs to the south entrance. I shall describe the concourse in three sections in an attempt to make the location of features more understandable. I'll list features on each side, within each section, as you progress from the north to south entrances.
