Encampment Tents Sheltered by Castle Walls
Positioning military tents next to a fortress wall provided visiting guards and travelers with a sheltered location under the protection of stone fortifications. High outer walls blocked harsh crosswinds and allowed encampments to remain stable during stormy conditions.
Encampments Set Up Outside Castle Fortifications
When castles ran out of indoor living quarters for visiting allies or extra garrison troops, temporary canvas encampments were established along the inner or outer wall perimeters. Sentries patrolling the top walk of the stone wall could keep watch over the tent grounds below and sound alarms if danger approached. Setting up camp against stone also reduced the number of tent ropes needed on one side of the canvas shelter.
