Merlin A creneled wall has a spiked top – a good example is the swiss castle of Montebello: Gordon No one ever reads the glossary these days, a crenel is partner to a merlon.

Would this describe a crenel?
A battlement is a wall with high places to hide behind during time of attack and low places to look and shoot through during battle. So crenels are the ones uptop. Correct? and merlons were the bottom ones?
~CASTLE~CHICK~Gordon Other way round. A Merlon is the high 'tooth', and a crenel the gap or low bit. CastleChick ok
~CASTLE~CHICK~Qtmario The crennel is located between the parapets if im not mistaken...... Gordon ...the other thing is a merlon, as mentioned already, and together they make crennelations.
A parapet is a wall built for protection at any sudden drop, as at the edge of a roof, this is often crennelated in a castle.
