The Western Hall

As you approach the building notice the remains of the inner curtain wall on the left. To the right of the Western Hall are the excavated ruins of the chapel. A worn step and door socket can be still be seen at the entrance. The inner Gatehouse once formed a fortified gatehouse guarding the Inner Ward before the outer ward was built.

Inside the Western Hall there is a long vaulted chamber with a large fireplace on the south wall. Notice the arrow slits and the latrine or garderobe in a turret to the north west. Here again there is is a staircase to the roof. Notice, at the top, the stone chimney stack.
