Parts of the outer walls date from the 4th century and were built up and strengthened during the medieval period. This bastion was added in the early Tudor period and has modifications from World War Two where the former gaps were filled in and a machine gun post, which is just visible, was added to cover the levels. The house on the left is The Gables and dates from the late 19th century and the road is the B2191 which was the A27 up to 1993.
