Minor repairs on the castle were carried out during the period, including to the castle bridge, but the state of the property gradually declined.. The old kitchens were removed in the early 15th century, and a new, larger facility constructed in their place.. Once built, however, the new kitchens, along with the rest of the buildings in the inner bailey, were left to deteriorate.. Reports in 1482 stated that the buildings were no longer weatherproof, and a survey carried around between 1503 and 1506 described the castle as "evyll repayred", and noted that the roof of the keep was rotten.; . This last survey urged that existing repair works on the buildings in the bailey be completed, but suggested that it might not be worth repairing the keep because of the excessive cost..
