Description

Circular random coursed stone fortifications, built c.1780, with cut stone segmental-headed arched opening. Loop windows with tooled stone surrounds open intermittently. Corrugated-iron roof has collapsed.

Appraisal

Surrounding the castle and stables is a system of walls, terraces and structures that were designed to look like ramparts and bastions. The structure was once roofed and is accessed through a fine cut stone archway. The loop windows, which can be seen at regular intervals around the walls of the structure, heighten the impression of a medieval structure.
