<P0-S0>  It would appear that attacks were dreaded chiefly from the plain below. <P0-S1>  This entrance is cut in the sides of the cliff about twenty feet below the top which is reached by some dozen steps. <P0-S2>  The Panvan plateau completely commands Maan, Maharashtra and almost overhangs it. <P0-S3>  There is a large turret on the south-west corner, evidently meant to comMan d the southern gate. <P0-S4>  The walls of this upper citadel are still in tolerable preservation. <P0-S5>  The way up to the fort proper or upper and lower citadels is from the north side. <P0-S6>  The rest is massive and well mortared and still fairly preserved. <P0-S7>  Here it turns still following the cliff to the south-east for another seven hundred yards, and then gradually rounds to the westward covering four hundred and fifty yards more till it meets the gateway. <P0-S8>  But for the break of the inaccessible precipice this outer wall would form a nearly equilateral triangle with the corners rounded off, the side being of some six hundred and fifty yards. <P0-S9>  The cone with the walls on it is seen from a great distance and appears very small indeed. <P0-S10>  This road winds down the face of the range for some five hundred feet till it hits the shoulder of a spur which it then follows to the base. <P0-S11>  The fort is believed to have been built by Shivaji to resist the Moghals whose attacks he must have dreaded from the plain below. <P0-S12>  They Would then be encountered by the cross wall. <P0-S13>  It consisted as usual of a pointed arch, the top fallen in, about ten feet high by five broad. <P0-S14>  On the south side the walls are carried right up to the scarp of the upper citadel and are some ten feet high, so that to take the lower citadel in rear or flank must have been difficult. <SEP> <P1-S0> The Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology or SLHA aims to create a greater awareness of the history of Lincolnshire, and works to discover and record its heritage. <P1-S1>  The Society was formed in 1974, but it has antecedents which date back to 1844. <SEP> <P2-S0> Jews' Court is the headquarters of the Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology. <P2-S1>  The Jews' Court is a building which contains some Norman stonework on Steep Hill in Lincoln, immediately above Jew's House. <P2-S2>  It is dated to between 1150 and 1180. <P2-S3>  The Jews Court is a Grade I listed building and a recent architectural survey has shown that there is very little medieval stonework above basement level in the existing building. <P2-S4>  Documentary evidence of 1290 when the Jewish community of Lincoln were expelled now shows that the Jews' Court has always been divided into two houses and a charter of 1316 mentions that a Jewish "scola" or synagogue had stood to the west in the tenement behind these two houses. <SEP> <P3-S0> The Jew's House is one of the earliest extant town houses in England. <P3-S1>  It is situated on Steep Hill in Lincoln, immediately below Jew's Court. <P3-S2>  The house has traditionally been associated with the thriving Jewish community in Medieval Lincoln. <P3-S3>  Anti-Semitic hysteria was stoked up by the case of Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln in 1255, and in 1290, the entire Jewish community was expelled from England, the Jew's House supposedly being seized from a Jewish owner. <P3-S4>  The building has remained continuously occupied to the present day. <P3-S5>  Since about 1973 it has been used as a restaurant and previous to that it was an antiques shop.
