Here tradition says that Fitz Stephen ran in his ships, mooring them under protection of Digitized by VjOOQIC 224 CONatJEST OP IRELAND the lai^er rock, and landing his men by means of the low ridge. The cut between the last of these rocks, across which he is said to have sprung, is now popularly called Fitz Stephen's Stride. The adventurers ai^e supposed to have first occupied the esplanade of the smaller peninsula, and there still remain distinct traces of the hasty fortifica- tions which are ...said to have been thrown up. On the isthmus which connects the lesser peninsula with the greater, a deep fosse, about seventy yards long, extends from side to side ; which was bounded on each edge by high mounds of earth, and in the centre covered by a half- moon bastion, twenty yards in circumference. On each side of this bastion may be traced passages through the fosse, and the bastion itself is connected with the espla- nade by a mound of earth. This bastion commanded the approaches, and overlooked *' all the ground in the vici- nity." Some few years ago, on turning up the soil around the edge of the esplanade, were discovered the remains of fires, at regular intervals, on the edge of the precipices ; which are supposed to have been the watch- fires of the videttes who were stationed around the en- campment.
