Well, a gatehouse is a part of a castle that is heavily defended. The gate house includes a drawbridge and maybe murder holes. If attackers get in, defenders could shower them with rocks, red hot sand, or boiling water and oil through the muder holes in the ceiling. A heavy metal portcullis protected the gate house enterence
what is the commen size of murder holes in centimeters ?
Based on my data there is a varying amount of holes in a ceiling tile but the average number is:5162
1,744,656 small holes
The gatehouse is the structure that defends the main gate, so the gatehouse is always at the entrance.
This is probably an old story. In the 1971 film, "The Abominable Dr. Phibes", Vincent Price drills a hole in a sleeping woman's ceiling in order to murder her.
