Ooh I once went round a castle somewhere on a school visit and we were told that those slits were so that the archers could fire thier arrows but would be protected from the arrows of the enemy......I will be interested to see what the correct answer is.....when someone gets it. And the Harold wilson one was just a shot in the dark......I should remember but i can't.
