Dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, the curtain wall is constructed from squared stone. The north-east section, featuring a gateway to the barmkin, is fragmentary. In contrast, the south-east section is better preserved and includes mural chambers, a garderobe, and a round arch with an uncertain function.
