Описание: I've just passed through the castle gate. This was the only castle entrance and so it would have been heavily defended. It ususlly included a bridge pit with spikes below for the enemy to fall into. There may have been arrow slits to pick off invaders. There was probably a machicolation or floor opening between the supporting corbels of a battlement, through which stones, etc could be dropped on those below. Then there would have been the heavy iron portcullis gate not forgetting a murder hole directly above, for boiling oil to be poured down on those below. Not a good idea to be standing here in the heat of the battle!
