Description

The single storey farm range, located immediately southwest of Castle Farmhouse, has been converted for use as toilets for the campsite. Its rear rubble wall continues the line of the rear wall of Castle Farmhouse and also serves partly as a retaining wall for part of the northwest castle earthwork. This building, along with the Granary positioned at right angles and the side wall of the house, creates a side courtyard adjacent to the house, while the barn range opposite forms a front courtyard.
