Any other details or information

All original flints are black. A few grey flints have been used for repairs. Ther e is no galleting. On the main walls all flints are faced and of similar size. Many of them are possibly leftover cores from the flaking process. The flushwork panels on the buttresses feature square/rectangular flints.
