THE CASTLE .
The most prominent object of the town is its castle, standing on the western hill, at a height of 300 feet.
On the south or sea-side there is no wall or vestige of any defence, which would have been quite useless, as it was impossible, from the extreme height and ruggedness of the cliff, to have been assailed by an enemy with any chance of success .
The eastern side appears to have been the strongest part of the castle. It is here that the military architects of that age exerted all their skill ; and a towered gateway, portcullis, semicircular tower, besides concealed passages and a ditch, sixty feet in depth and one hundred in width, defended this important part.
There is also another gate facing the north, which is the present entrance to the castle. On this side is a sally-port and two towers : one is round, with a circular flight of stairs, the other is square ; without are the remains of the drawbridge and wall communicating with the castle mount.
The north-west side has but a plain wall, with a ditch similar to that on the east. The average thickness of the walls of the castle is eight feet .
