As it stood in 1300
The shape it held in its prime.
Perched on a steep limestone outcrop, the castle's dominant feature is a compact, rectangular stone keep rising directly from the rock, with narrow vertical slit windows and several missing faces where masonry has been stripped. A low stone curtain wall runs along the outcrop's rim, enclosing a small bailey; scattered trees grow near the walls and the whole site commands open views across rolling pastureland and the Hope Valley below. Roofs are absent in the present ruin but were intact at prime.
