"The gatehouse
at Carisbrooke Castle, on the Isle of Wight, rebuilt in the
early 1380s under the direction of the royal architect, Henry
Yevele, and
supplied at that time with gun-ports in the upper stages of the
towers; notice
the sighting-slits above the circular gun openings, repeated at
Kirby Muxloe
but not to be found at William Herbert's castle at Raglan."
