How big is the castle? Presumably it was quite large if there was room for 27 houses inside it. Maybe approximate dimensions can be added to the floor plan?
Is there any details of the height and thickness of the walls?

Thank you for your interest. I have measured the dimensions from ACME Mapper and added them to the article to to give an indication. At this point, I have no information about the height of the walls. CeeGee 14:36, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
