Consultation of the Ordnance Survey First Edition 25" map of 1880 shows that the south crosswing is not marked on this either, not even as a shell. If it really is as late as the 1920s then it is a remarkably good imitation; and why were the clamp irons falsely
dated? Could it have been re-erected from another site?
