Site Description

An oval circuit, roughly 350m by 215m, originally defined by stone walled defences springing from the castle (Nprn94876) to the south-eas: an incomplete line of defences, with some fabric, is preserved in modern wall lines and buildings: the walls are thought to have been redundant by mid.16th century.
