The main mens dungeon

The main mens dungeon

This photograph gives the viewer a length-view of the mens dunegon below the castle. It consists of 3 main interlinked 'rooms' into which up to 1000 men were crammed at any one time. The line down the centre of the floor was the only toilet and sewerage system supplied. There was no space to lie down and most of the time the slaves had to sit or stand in their own excrement.
