The Barbican or Outer Gate
Started in AD 1300 or so by Sir John de Broughton and granted a licence to crenellate (that is, to fortify it and add the embrasures for archers ontop of the roof) in 1406, Broughton Castle is really a fortified manor house.

See the famioly Web site for more pictures and information. The castle is open to visitors.
