Here we are looking up close at the end of the gash, from just inside the Banqueting Hall. One's eyes are usually frawn first to the brickwork, but perhaps more noteworthy is the fact that the continuation of the roof of the gash is sandstone slabs. Half way along the gash, there is a small break in one of these slabs and, looking up through it, one can see that there are loose bricks filling in some kind of void. This adds to the suspicion that above the gash there is some sort of passageway which hasn't been discovered yet.
