...'Wall-footings and stony debris on the rocky knoll a few metres NE of the tower may represent the remains of a medieval dwelling on the site, traces of earlier walling possibly extending down the intervening ridge and being incorporated within the fabric of the NE angle of the tower itself' (p.215).
...'On the summit of a knoll 16m NNE of the castle there is an arc of walling, including a 6m-length of inner facework, around the SW edge of the summit-platform, and other traces of stony debris and short stretches of outer face along the rocky W edge. There are also slight traces of walling running down the spine of the ridge between the knoll and the NE angle of the castle, but none of the wall-foundations in this area bears visible evidence of lime mortar' (p.224).
