What remains today is a heavily overgrown rectangular tower measuring 11.3 metres east to west and 7.4 metres north to south, with walls surviving to a maximum height of just 2 metres. Despite its diminished state, the structure retains several architectural features that hint at its former defensive capabilities and domestic functions.

The tower’s construction shows typical medieval craftsmanship, with rounded corners that would have provided both structural strength and defensive advantages. Among the surviving features, visitors can still identify the western jamb of a door near the eastern end of the south wall, and the lower steps of a straight mural staircase built into the eastern wall, rising from the southeast corner. The remnants of window openings are visible too; the western side of a window opening in the north wall, and a splayed southern opening of what was likely either a window or defensive loop in the west wall.

Evidence of the castle’s residential nature can be found in the domestic features that remain. A garderobe chute exit, essentially medieval plumbing, emerges near the southern end of the west wall, whilst a small wall press or cupboard survives at the same wall’s southern end. Intriguingly, the 1935 Ordnance Survey 6-inch map marks the site of a ‘Castle Moat’ immediately north of the ruins, though no visible remains of this defensive feature exist today. The site was listed as a ‘possible motte’ by historian Glasscock in 1975, suggesting it may have had earlier Norman fortifications, though this remains speculative.
