As it stood in 1250
The shape it held in its prime.
A fragmentary three-storey stone keep and stretches of curtain wall built of coursed sandstone blocks and rubble infill, with large vertical gaps where walls have collapsed. Massive, battered wall faces with narrow arrow-slits and the bases of once-round towers are visible; some sections retain squared ashlar quoins and a tall, narrow doorway pierced through the eastern wall. The site stands on a grassy mound above a ditch/moat and looks across the Erewash valley to lower farmland.
