As it stood in 1270
The shape it held in its prime.
A strong stone gatehouse with two large semicircular (D-shaped) towers flanking a central vaulted arched entrance dominates the east face; the towers rise two storeys and end in a battlemented parapet. The curtain wall of pale, weathered oolitic limestone extends left and right from the gate, enclosing a rectangular plan. The gate passage is a through-vault with a drop arch and would have housed a portcullis and wooden doors. The castle sits on an open, slightly elevated grassy slope above the Welland Valley.
