Thanks for the link. As I suspected, though the individual parts have names I didn't know, the general piece of castletechture I am referring to is The Battlements.

And lest anyone doubt their importance to castletechture, I quote from said link.

Ahem, Disney, the distinguishing feature of a castle.


I demand that you restore them at once!

crenellations - I love that word

[Alex]

Yes, but these are crenellations in a world that has OSHA. And we all know that anywhere elevated that a person may walk requires guardrails.

So, I blame Bush. But he only did it because Clinton got kinky with a cigar.

When I first saw this, I thought I read "a fighting platform and a defense against the espanade."

DL's castle needs crenellations--how else will they be able to defend against the invading armies of DCA?
