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.

castles of this age didnt have dungeons but had grate enclosed pits in the floor of towers like this which were about 20 meters deep.They used to simply throw people in and leave them to die.Once in there was no way of climbing out.

yay,i live just down the road from here.The plan to build private homes on the hospital site has currently been revoked by the local council.Did you see nearby conway castle Mr Motts?it's much more impressive as it's pretty much complete with its 21 tower town walls with the nearly 800 year old castle within.One of the town walls even has cannon fire scars from the civil war,the last time the castle saw battle.This place has more castles per square mile than anywhere in the world apparently.
