The shape it held in its prime.
Lickleyhead Castle is an L-plan harled stone house with a main east–west block and a southward-jutting wing that covers two faces. The north front bears corbelled two-storey turrets with oval upper windows, while a heavily corbelled semi-circular stair turret corbelled out to square rises in the west re-entrant. Crow-stepped gables top slated roofs; the tower reaches three storeys with an attic and garret. Walls include slit windows and several shot-holes; the site lies by the banks of the Gadie Burn.
