The rightlined base of the right tower
is stepped. The curved superstructure,
of which seven or eight courses remain
is perfectly built and adorned on
its surface with occasional raised
discs carved upon square blocks one
course high. drawing of stacked blocks These, in a number
of cases, are dispersed in 3s and 4s
to form a pattern. This ornament
occurs again in the first courses of
the wall in the N. side of the castle.

residences upon the site, is quite
unintelligible but it is plain that
the first story consisted of a
labyrinth of vaulted chambers
and corridors, many of which remain,
and connected with the moat by a
winding flight of broad steps, roofed
over by a flat corbelled ceiling of large
stones.
