It is very probable that the causeway (17.50 m. x 7.50 m.) across the moat was either collapsible or of wood that could be lifted up in times of danger, to disconnect the way. The barbican is also narrow; where enemy can be trapped and attacked by soldiers from guard rooms, who are not immediately visible, and by the soldiers from the top of the fort wall. Thus, the gate has been very well planned during the period under study.
