Murus etenim de lapidibus, vallum vero quo ad repellendam vim hostium castra muniuntur fit de cespitibus, quibus circumcisis, e terra velut murus exstruitur altus supra terram, ita ut in ante sit fossa, de qua levati sunt cespites, supra quam sudes de lignis fortissimis praefiguntur.
For a wall is built with stones, but a rampart, whereby a camp is fenced to ward off the force of enemies, is made with turfs, wherewith, when they are cut about, as it were a wall is raised out of the earth high above the earth, so that in front there be the trench whence the turfs were lifted, and above it be sticked stakes of the stoutest timber.
