Twenty five tonnes of "festering pigeon faeces" have been removed from an 675-year-old ancient English monument.
The bird droppings, which were almost three feet deep, had built up inside the towers of the Landgate Arch in Rye, East Sussex.
Cleaning contractors described the smell from the acidic guano as "awful - even through a facemask".
The historic structure is owed by Rother council and dates from 1340 but is not open to the public.
