As it stood in 1460

The shape it held in its prime.

A mid-15th-century L‑plan stone tower rising within a high enclosing curtain wall on a low grassy knoll; the main central tower dominates the silhouette while a smaller round tower guards the north‑west corner. The enclosure contains lower ranges of outbuildings; walls are built of rough grey-brown rubble stone. In prime condition the curtain wall and towers are complete to their full height, with the inner yard occupied by timber-roofed service buildings (stable, brewery, bakery).
