It may have been built over the west terminal of the Bail Ditch, backfilled after 1138. It has been much rebuilt but traces remain of the front chimney stack, ornamental string-course and doorway. It has a barrel vaulted undercroft facing south. A built-over window was revealed in 1877 and reset. Restoration work in 1936-7.
Parts of the foundations were observed in 1996. The timber floor of the first-floor corner room was found in 1999 to have been the subject of five phases of alterations and replacement. It was covered in 2000 by a new timber floor supported on a base of steel joists inserted into recesses. During this work, the date 1869 was noted on the underside of part of the earlier floor, and evidence of early 20th-century alterations to the east wall were seen.
