Present Remains
The remains today consist of a substantial 15th.c. gatehouse, now within the yard of Canonsleigh Barton farm, and to the east lie fragments of a wall possibly once part of a mill. As no parts of machinery or workings are left inside the structure it is also speculated that it may have been an ablutions block as much of the stonework is akin to the area used for a similar function inside the gatekeeper's quarters in the Gatehouse, also known as the Almonry. There also remains part of the outer walls of the grounds, the leat and the stable block.
