SULE G.D.
In the side walls of the ante-chamber are two narrow recesses, 9 feet from the floor, popularly said to have been treasure chambers.
From the first cell in the north-east wall a series of celle opens out and rises to the summit of the cliff. The passage is now blocked with debris washed in from above. Careful examination of the top of the hill disclosed no definite outlet, though possibly a depression full of detritus surrounded by a stone wall once marked the exit. There is no doubt, however, that this passage did once lead, to the plateau above.
