The original pointed arch doorway, defended by a gun loop in S jamb, is at E end of SE wall. It is framed by an outer arch between which and the doorway proper is a narrow slit resembling a murder-hole. This doorway opens into a small lobby with a conventional murder-hole above. From S side of the lobby, an intramural stairs (now broken) rises to the 1st floor. There was a stone vault between 1st/2nd floors, both of which are now inaccessible. In NW wall, a mural passage is visible on 1st floor and a mural chamber on 2nd floor. Corbels which supported machicolations survive on top of NE and SE walls. The surviving windows comprise simple slits as well as single and two lights with ogee heads.
