Excerpt from The Encyclopedia Americana, Vol. 6 of 30: A Library of Universal Knowledge
Castles often had outer works, thus the barbican or barbacan is strictly a defense built outside of the principal gate and intended to keep the enemy away from it for a certain length of time. When a castle was near a river an outwork would be built on the other bank, covering the bridge leading to the castle. When the site was high, with steep approaches, a covered way might be built to protect the whole of the path leading up to the castle, and the foot of this would have an outwork or strong post capable of some defense.
