Yellow square shows Keep, of which remnants survive. Red line shows curtain wall, covering are of the former Castle Street, Castle Green and Castle Hill Sreet, as shown on the 1882 map. The area today covers most of the eastern part of "Castle Park", a greenspace recreation area.

The entrance of the channel from the River Avon forming the former moat of the castle is still visible today.
