Rear wall has small filled ground floor window, with similar window above of single pane. Interior has ground floor vaulted chamber with newel stair, now filled, in north east angle; entrance from hall is probably C15, later fireplace in rear wall. Upper chamber has remains of stone dividing wall, probably C16, with fireplace in rear in side walls; probable garderobe outlet behind side fireplace; filled window covered by hall wall, suggests hall is of later build than tower.
