Dimensioned section of the hill and moat
Red-chalk cross-section labelled in canne (20, 4, 20, 30, 30)
Folio 33r carries a red-chalk cross-section of the hill and the moat to be cut, its parts labelled in canne: 20, 4, 20, 30 and 30. The drawing continues the earthwork estimate of the facing leaf, showing the profile whose volumes and costs are worked out there. Faint script showing through from the reverse is visible below the figure but was not transcribed.

Cross-section of the hill and moat, dimensioned in canne (20, 4, 20, 30, 30)
The measurements written around the figure give the parts of the earthwork profile as 20, 4, 20, 30 and 30 canne. They fix the dimensions of the hill to be cut down and of the moat to be excavated.
Triangular profile of the cut
A red-chalk triangular section spans the top of the sheet, drawing the wedge-shaped profile of the hill and moat. Its geometry underlies the volume calculations recorded on the facing page.
