Castle Rushen
Archaeology
Post medieval counterscarp and glacis.
During the second quarter of the 16th century, protection of the curtain wall against artillery was provided on the east and south sides by the addition of a counterscarp wall faced with a glacis. Now covered in turf, the glacis was originally faced in stone.
