promontory which with deep geos on either
side projects about 100 yds. [yards] to seaward. The
keep, which still remains
to a height of some 25'-30', is a rectangular
block of masonry measuring interiorly some
24' x 16'3" and having walls about 7' in thick:
:ness. It has had three stories and no vaults
on the basement or above. The door way has
been in the E. [East] angle facing to sea ward
where now is a gap in the wall some 13' wide.

(There is a groove in the S.E. [South East] wall on 1st. floor level some
5' wide in the middle of the wall) This has
probably been for a wooden architrave. --

There is no sign of a stair. On the first floor
is a small chamber in the S.E. [South East] wall. Near the
entrance, (presuming that to have been at the
1st. floor level) There has been a window on
each floor in the S.E. [South East] wall and on the
second floor a single aperture overlooks
the approach from landward. In
the S. [South] corner the wall is badly rent from
top to bottom and much bulged.
At the landward end of the promontory
some 30 yds. [yards] from the keep there are visible
the remains of a low rampart placed
across it while in rear of it on either
side of the approach are the foundations
of a small rectangular building.
