Inspiring work Motts.

I'm listening to the soundtrack to "Braveheart"
(I know that's Scottish, BTW) and looking at these awe-inspiring works of art. Almost an
out-of-body experience. Thanx, Motts, for sharing your works. (My fav shot, gorgeous)

Looks like pretty standard construction for late 18th and 19th century brick foundations. The arched brick "tunnels" are crossed by walls that support the floor above. You can see a similar structure (although on a larger scale) exposed at Fort Pulaski, near Savannah Georgia. During the Civil War, a group of confederate soldiers used the "tunnels" formed by the arches in an escape attempt.
