Remains Of Inner Gatehouse And Walls To East And West

The remains of the inner gatehouse and walls date back to the 12th century and are constructed of flint with stone dressings. The central arch features a slightly larger arch opening to the north. The wall extends to the north-east of this arch, varying in height between 10 and 15 feet for about 8 yards. There is an additional stretch of wall on the eastern side of the arch, built at later dates, which continues for about 5 yards and drops from a height of approximately 20 feet to the ground. Further stretches of wall lead west and south from the west side of the arch; the western stretch is about 30 yards long, while the southern stretch is around 5 yards, both standing approximately 15 feet high from the floor of the former moat.
