You can close the gate on the enemies when they come to attack the castle. And if they get under it when it's closing, they are crushed and due to the pointy gate, they die! Portcullis are very helpful.
A portcullis is a heavy metal grate used as a gate. The guards raised the portcullis of the castle.
Portcullis House (PCH) is an office building in Westminster, London, UK. Portcullis House is a seven story building. The building was designed by Michael Hopkins and Partners.
When attackers attacked the castle, if a portcullis existed , it could come from above and kill them. I hope it helped :) ^^
