A portcullis is a heavy, wooden GATE that is usually found at the entrance of a castle or fort. It is typically made of two vertical wooden doors that are connected by metal chains and can be raised or lowered using a winch. The term portcullis comes from the Latin words porta and culleus, which mean 'GATE' and 'SACK, ' respectively. The GATE was designed to be a defensive measure against attackers, as it could be quickly lowered to block the entrance.
