Dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, the curtain wall is constructed from squared stone. The north-east section, featuring a gateway to the barmkin, is fragmentary. In contrast, the south-east section is better preserved and includes mural chambers, a garderobe, and a round arch with an uncertain function.

Dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, the curtain wall and adjacent structures are made of squared stone. The wall comprises three sections, each showcasing different construction styles and types of masonry. The northern section features a postern leading into the motte ditch, with a shouldered lintel beneath a pointed relieving arch. The southern section has partially exposed footings of an adjacent range of buildings on the east side.
