Hi Cathy, I have just searched the Images of England (IOE) website - using the term Bastion, and with a building type of Defence.  I came up with 85 hits.  The following are possibilities: - 1. GARDEN WALLS SURROUNDING FEATHERSTONE CASTLE, WITH GATEHOUSE, GATEWAYS, BASTIONS, BEEBOLE AND MAUSOLEUM, HALL BANK (south off) 2. GATEHOUSE AND BOUNDARY WALL WITH BRIDGE OVER MOAT, BISHOP'S PALACE   WELLS, MENDIP, SOMERSET  The picture very roughly tallies with yours.  The search term RAMPART throuws up different results: - Chester looks a likely candidate. Try:  SPUR WALL AND WATER TOWER, CITY WALLS CHESTER, CHESTER, CHESHIRE York includes:  CITY WALL FROM LENDAL HILL HOUSE TO THE LODGE, MUSEUM STREET   YORK, YORK, NORTH YORKSHIRE       also  CITY WALL FROM THE RED TOWER TO FISHERGATE POSTERN TOWER, CITY WALLS This will take you to the IOE web-site.  http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/default.aspx I would also suggest you email the National Monuments Record at Swindon with the photograph and query which you have put up on the "Oxfordshire" web-site.  The National Monuments Record hosts the IOE website.  Richard Brown Bromley, Kent U.K. ------------------------------ Message: 3 Date: Sun, 7 Feb 2010 23:09:38 +0200 From: "Cathy Longley" <clongley@mweb.co.za> Subject: [KENT-ENG] Fw: off topic - identifying a place on a     photograph Hi Listers I wonder if anyone can help me identify this photo of a battlemented wall, with mural tower, I think!! it is in Yorkshire, but don't think it is York.  I would really appreciate your input. The photo can be seen at http://www.picturesofengland.com/England/Oxfordshire/Oxford/pictures/1108221 it is only sitting in "oxford" until the correct place has been identified Many thanks for any assistance Cathy South Africa
