Note 217 — Chapter VII · THE PERIOD OF TRANSITION: CYLINDRICAL TOWER-KEEPS
Reading edition
An account of Flint castle is given by Harvey, Castles and Walled Towns, p. 123 seq. Speed’s map of Flintshire, made c. 1604, shows that the tower was joined to the adjacent curtain by a wall, the rampart-walk of which probably gave access to the entrance on the first floor of the tower.
