A wide moat, high walls with several bastions on the corners and within, a fortified tower or donjon (today called the White Tower) where defenders could retreat to if the walls had been broken through.

Today the moat has been drained. Due to a less-than-perfectly made connection with the River Thames, the water in the moat wasn't regularly flushed by the river's tide as intended but remained largely stagnant, which made it over time stink to high heaven.
