• CL034-138 Castle - tower house
  Description

  On a natural rocky crag (dims. 34m NW-SE; 25m NE-SW; H 1-1.5m) in a sheltered natural hollow on the S bank of the E-W River Rine. Rectangular ivy-covered structure (ext. dims. 13.8m NW-SE; 9m NE-SW) of four storeys and attic, with a base batter and plinth. There are gables with chimney stacks on each wall, except the NE. The pointed doorway (Wth 1.23m), which is largely destroyed, in the SE wall leads to a lobby (dims 1.4m x 1.4m) protected by a murder hole. A pointed doorway (Wth 0.6m; H 1.9m) leads to a partly ruined guard room (dims. 2.8m NE-SW; 1.62m NW-SE) at NE, and by a pointed doorway (Wth 0.87m; H 2.1m) leads to a spiral stairs at SW. The pointed doorway (Wth 1.3m; H 2.1m) to the ground floor chamber is damaged and set in a damaged rectangular embrasure (Wth 1.4m; H 2.4m). The chamber (int. dims. 8.25m NW-SE; 5.3m NE-SW) has a vaulted roof with wicker centring, and two lights in rectangular embrasures (Wth 1.5m; H 2m) on the SW wall. The NW wall has an inserted fireplace (Wth 2.35m; H 1.6m), while the NE wall is featureless, apart from a slop-stone or chute (Wth 0.4m; H 0.35m) sloping through the wall, and the outlet of a garderobe chute (Wth 1.3m; H 1.15m; D 1m) visible on the outside. The spiral stairs rise to a rectangular room (int. dims. 5m NE-SW; 2.05m; H 2.5m) with a barrel vault and wicker centering over the entrance lobby, which is entered by a pointed doorway (Wth 0.45m; H 1.45m). There are lights in the NE and SE walls and at the E angle. The upper levels are inaccessible, but the windows appear to have been rectangular, the largest ones on the SW wall, and there are machicolations at each angle but there was no wall walk or parapet.
