sandstone almost eliptical on plan sitting on top of high sandstone
and earth mound and dominating the surrounding plain. Roughly squared
sandstone inner and outer faces with corework infilling. A few high
standing sections of the walls contain the remains of windows with

remains within the walls South East were built C1800 to make the
Castle an eyecatcher from Norton Priory. Scheduled Ancient Monument.
