As it stood in 1593
The shape it held in its prime.
A compact quadrangular keep of pink-harled rubble masonry rising two-to-three storeys to a flat crenellated parapet, with small round corner turrets capped by conical slate roofs. Steep slate roof sections with dormer windows and tall chimneys sit behind the parapet; a central flagpole rises from the roofline. The entrance is a small arched doorway at ground level set in a plain stone facade, with a low stone garden wall and trees close around the building.
