Information panel depicting the Keep, soon after construction.

South East face of the late 12th century Keep. The modern spiral staircase leads to the original main entrance. The extent of the remaining ashlar stonework allows an appreciation of the monumental nature of the structure. Part of the reason was the area to the left has not been so severely robbed of the ashlar stonework is that the peak cavern gorge is below and, therefore, access is much more difficult. Not to mention that the main garderobe from the keep discharges in that area.

A few remaining Ashlar blocks show how the keep would have looked, before the stone was robbed away.
