As it stood in 1200
The shape it held in its prime.
A tall, rectangular main tower rises above lower curtain walls, all built of pale grey local stone; the tower and walls are topped by high crenellations with distinctive square merlons. The curtain walls run irregularly along a steep, wooded rocky slope, forming an enclosed bailey set above the village below. Tree cover and terraces sit on the hillside; the silhouette is jagged where towers and battlements project above the tree-line, with no modern additions.
