Similar doorways in 2nd-floor lead to main chamber with short rėmains of vaulting; mural passage leading to garderobe on S wall and mural chamber with pointed vault on S wall. Spiral stairs ends at 3rd floor, though it may have continued higher. On 3rd floor, small room containing stairs running S, now blocked, may have given access to wall walk.
