The angle of the hills rising on all sides from the natural side is steep, being in some places 50° and at others nearly perpendicular.

It will be seen that the height of the Bank has been fixed at 50 feet in consequence of the nature of the ground where it is proposed to construct the Bye Wash. A Bye Wash could not have been formed at a greater height without cutting into the side of the hill.
