GV II
Perimeter walls of Castle. c1840, incorporating some medieval
fragments. For the Duke of Northumberland. Slatestone rubble
walls with local greenstone, volcanic stone and polyphant
stone dressings. Roadside retaining walls to St Thomas Road,
Western Road and Castle Dyke with some Gothic style features,
some of which are probably re-used from the Watch of Witches
Tower which collapsed when the road was being built. High
walls with doorways inserted at various intervals. These walls
are part of a major landscaping scheme which took place
following criticism about the condition of the castle in 1840.
