As it stood in 1540
The shape it held in its prime.
Large rectangular stone tower with steep, stone-capped upper profile and a small flag, standing at the western end of a compact castle complex; long low curtain walls run eastward along a rocky cliff with battlemented walkways and ruined ranges set around a central grassy bailey; masonry is coarse grey-brown sandstone with many collapsed sections, rooflines mostly gone except the tower cap, and the castle sits directly above a narrow beach and open sea on a rocky promontory.
