Plain doors in north wall below and in east wall approached by flight of stone steps, above. Undercroft said to have housed former ovens (not seen); upper floor is dovecote, with accommodation for about 500 nests within the four walls; two close double-collar roof trusses flanking the former aperture for the birds, now blocked.
