Harlech, Castle Entrance 1933
Photo ref:

More about this scene
Additional protection was given to the eastern and southern flanks of Harlech by a deep ditch. Entry to the castle was by way of the twin-towered main gatehouse on the eastern side. The approach to this was in turn defended by an outer gatehouse with corbelled turrets and a drawbridge, plus two bridge turrets which spanned the ditch. The passageway defences of the main gatehouse were impressive. To reach the inner courtyard attackers had to breach an outer wooden door, two portcullises, a second wooden door and a third portcullis, whilst running a gauntlet of crossbow bolts and arrows fired through loops by the garrison.
