As it stood in 1390
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact fortress of rough grey rubble stone with a prominent round drum tower at one corner capped by a crenellated parapet, attached to high rectangular curtain walls topped by regular crenellations. Narrow vertical lancet and arrow-slit windows puncture the walls in slender pairs and singles. The masonry is coarse Kentish stone with visible repair lines and a simple stringcourse; the castle sits close to the village behind low boundary walls and trees, its roofline mostly concealed by battlements.
