More about this scene
Here we see the remains of the great triple-towered gatehouse. It is thought that Edward I's engineer-architect Master James of St George was responsible for its design. The towers were arranged two at the front and one at the rear, thus creating a small octagonal courtyard in the middle of them. This sounds very attractive, but any attackers reaching this point would be caught in a vicious crossfire from murder holes. The gatehouse was also defended by two portcullises and two doors.
