Areas either side of a breach in the north curtain wall were excavated in advance of a small building programme. Work was concentrated mainly to the north of the curtain wall where existed the lower courses of a possible gatehouse, the north and west walls of which were very substantial. The entrance to the gatehouse may have been through its east wall, adjacent to the curtain wall. An intra-mural passage within the north wall of the building could have given access, via a stairway, to the first floor of the gatehouse and possibly to the castle courtyard.
