The ground floor is lit by a single light and the first floor has two openings and a fireplace. A mural stairway rises to the upper level.



The internal diameter of the castle is about 5m and the external circumference about 30m. The earthwork is about 50m diameter and is much higher in the east than elsewhere. There are some traces of a second bank in the south.
