Figure 15. Bourne Castle. View across the innermost moat from the west. The parched ground under the trees in the right background is the spread fill of the inner bailey curtain wall, parched by the tree roots, with a building platform at the right end. In front of it is the curve of green of the innermost moat. The fore-building of the keep is in the centre foreground. Curving through the right middle ground is the late thirteenth century motte revetment. To the left and beyond that is the innermost moat and beyond it, in the left-hand half of the picture, building platforms in the inner bailey.
