As it stood in 1435
The shape it held in its prime.
Long rectangular riverside silhouette of Old Red Sandstone and local grey limestone, with three tall towers: a large rectangular central tower pierced by a vaulted watergate and flanked by two two-storey polygonal end towers joined by straight curtain walls. The river-facing side steps down to the bank and originally sat within a surrounding moat and rectangular walled court; turrets rise above the arched watergate and a high T-shaped chamber occupies the central tower above the gate.
