              <text>Because it is on a ridge, the castle from this direction would have looked even more imposing (the castle would also have had at least two more stories, including parapets). The castle would also have had a "bawn" (i.e., enclosure) wall directly in front of it, further protecting it and surrounding buildings from attack. &#13;
&#13;
The door at the bottom of the tower house in this view is modern. Above it is seen an aperture and above it, “Raleigh's window.” In the staircase block on the right (east) side can be seen three more arrow loops. At ground level can be seen an exit chute for the garderobe (modified in modern times), strategically located to drain towards the lake.</text>
