Gatehouse
building enclosing or accompanying a gateway
A gatehouse was a strong building built over the gateway to a city or castle. A gatehouse is found on European castles, manor houses and mansions.
Sometimes gatehouses defended a town by being built across a bridge, a river or a moat, as in Monmouth.
