Architecture & evidence
Western approach
Two corner-tower remains flank the approach. The former defensive ditches require a surveyed terrain revision.
Eastern terminal tower
The narrowed upper enclosure ends in a small tower foundation. No conjectural palace is added.
Lower-town remains
Five southern tower positions are interpreted; the southeastern remnant is taller. Most enclosing walls remain low.
