We were in an enclosed well yard, surrounded by walls of about sixteen feet in height, with a defender's catwalk about the inside. - (Nomads of Gor, Chapter 16, Sentence #73)

Harold had already taken up a position, looking about, near the edge of the well. The Turian wells, incidentally, have no raised wall, but are, save for a rim of about two inches in height, flat with the level. I joined Harold. We were in an enclosed well yard, surrounded by walls of about sixteen feet in height, with a defender's catwalk about the inside. The walls provide a means for defending the water and also, of course, considering the number of wells in the city, some of which, by the way, are fed by springs, provide a number of defensible enclaves should portions of the city fall into enemy hands. There was an archway leading from the circular well yard, and the two halves of the timbered, arched gate were swung back and fastened on both sides. It was necessary only to walk through the archway and find ourselves on one of the streets of Turia. - (Nomads of Gor)
