I can add little to the comprehensive description in Image, taken in 2008, except to say that the walls and gateways seen in both photos date from the 14th century, and were Grade II listed https://britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/101034721-curtain-walls-and-gateway-at-kingsbury-hall-kingsbury & https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1034721?section=official-list-entry in 1953. The whole site is a Scheduled (Ancient) Monument, consisting of a medieval enclosure/castle/manor house and its remains, overlain by more recent developments https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1019978?section=official-list-entry
