Can anyone help me understand what's going with the stair-like structure leading to the magazine entrance? It seems to go to nowhere at the foot of the interior slope, and doesn't lead up to the platform.

Magazines were usually buried underground or inside the walls of an earthen fort—as I understand. I dont know if this drawing shows earth walls or what. It appears the magazine is drawn with dotted lines as it is underground and the stair descend down to access it.

Yes, the dotted lines would indicate that the magazine is covered with earth. The stair-like structure seems like steps leading down into the magazine, although awkwardly-drawn. I agree, though, it would help to see the larger drawing and to know what and where this is.
