This overgrown
fortress wall can be located thanks to Abraham Rademaker, who published the
drawing as a print in his 'Kabinet van Nederlandsche Outheden en Gezichten' (1725, no. 250), with the caption: “Vermakelyk gezicht van een out Poortje en
nevens gelege Wallen van de stadt Naerden in den Jare 1670, naderhant by de
Nieuwe Versterkinge afgebroken.” Whether this drawing
by Anthonie van Borssom also dates from 1670 is not entirely certain.
