Gatehouse, stables and flanking walls at Banwell Castle

The gatehouse, stables, and flanking walls at Banwell Castle were built around 1848 and are constructed from rubble with freestone dressings. The gatehouse features a chamfered double arch beneath a parapet, situated between two circular embattled towers that are decorated with cross loops. The left tower includes ground floor slit windows and has cast iron gates adorned with heraldic motifs. Inside the arch, flights of steps lead up into each tower through chamfered, round-headed openings. To the right, a heavily embattled wall curves around to the west tower, while to the left, a larger two-storey embattled drum tower with single light windows is adjacent to a hexagonal turret capped with a small circular turret. Further left, an embattled wall with round-headed lancets for the stables extends to a buttress, and beyond that, the wall continues plain to the dairy. Behind the wall to the left of the gatehouse, there are plain lean-to stables that have been altered.
