The whole of the southern side of the bailey has been destroyed, though possibly the site is marked by the cottages built here in a similar manner to the southern half of the eastern side, where cottage gardens occupy the ancient fosse, which, however, still retains a scarp of 1 2 ft.

On the eastern side of these works a portion of another fosse appears to indicate the inclosure of another court ; but this may belong to a later age, for these entrenchments point to a stronghold of the mount and bailey type, which were afterwards altered to manorial requirements.
