NJ 79620 00494 A geophysical survey that aimed to map potential structural remains and garden features associated with the castle was undertaken, 22–26 July 2013. A resistance survey at 0.5m by 0.5m intervals was undertaken on the lawns to the W, E and S of the castle, with GPR being conducted over gravel, tarmac and paved areas.

The resistance survey mapped many elements of the formal garden within the S lawn. Anomalies of possible interest were also noted within the W and E lawns, although, with the exception of two well defined responses from former paths, these are ephemeral. The GPR survey identified several anomalies of possible interest, including possible footings of a wall associated with the tower and potential structures in the NE of the courtyard. Numerous services were also detected.
