Note 265 — Chapter IX · CASTLES OF THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY: THE FORTIFICATION OF THE CURTAIN

Garde-robes built upon arches across re-entering angles of a wall occur on each side of a large buttress in the west wall of Southampton. A similar feature occurs at the junction of the north curtain of Porchester castle with one of the Roman towers. In both cases the addition was probably made in the fourteenth century.
