Crenelation refers to the architectural feature characterized by a series of alternating high and low sections, typically seen on the upper part of castle walls or battlements. The raised sections, known as merlons, provide cover for defenders, while the gaps, or crenels, allow for shooting or observation. This design not only offers protection but also serves a decorative purpose in medieval architecture.
