Scarborough Castle Barbican (2 x PiPs)

Scarborough Castle Barbican (2 x PiPs)
Perhaps better enlarged

The barbican gate and outer defences of the castle viewed from the curtain wall.

The barbican gate tower and bridge were built by Henry III between 1243 and 1245, although the first reference of an earlier barbican occurs in 1175. This surviving stretch of the curtain wall was built by King John between 1202 and 1212, presumably replacing an earlier line of defence.

Thanks so much for your visit and kind comments Bill, much appreciated. Not a seat bill;-)) I think it is a container for a signal fire or similar. Certainly not original and perhaps placed there for some re-enactment or other event.

All the best, Doug
