Nothing now remains of this castle but part of the wall enclosing an almost square yard, and some of the towers at three angles of the square. It was built on a limestone rock. The remains of the castle indicate a structure of 1590 - 1610. It is believed that the castle was destroyed by Sir Richard [Nytle ?], one of Cromwell's officers. - Collector
