It's my understanding that the castle gatehouses used to have small openings where guards inside could have their weapons ready... interesting stuff!

You're right Kadee! : )
I get the strong feeling that all I have to do is walk a little to my left and somehow I'll be on that path and be able to enter another world that time has almost erased.

the small openings were called murder holes and guards would pour things like melted sand(like medieval napalm it sticks and burns),quick lime and the usual arrows,bolts and rocks.

Anyone know what the statue above the gate openning was of? or who?

The statue would probably depict king Edward I or earl Henry De lacy who owned the castle.It could even be king Arther as the king used the legend as a propaganda tool.

The first records of my family were there in England about two hundred years before that castle was built. They were originally from the Netherlands.
