E.g.
Ecclesiastical History of Orderic Vitalis

Gesta Guillelmi of William of Poitiers
(1998), 144–5: ‘after the surrender of the castle [at Dover], he spent eight days in fortifying it where it was weakest’ (with an editorial note suggesting that reference to a pre-Norman ‘castle’ is the product of loose usage); McNeill (1992), 40, where there is an estimate of between 40 and 120 working days.
