Attached Link: postern gate

Kemal - my hair's shorter ;) edit - on the gate number thing, a lot of castles and fortresses had things called postern gates dotted around their perimeter (apart from the main gate(s)). These were smaller doorways that were very hard to get through and provided the defenders with small exits through which they could launch small counterattacks to keep an enemy off balance that weren't so obvious as the main gate opening to let people out. Also could be used for messengers to try and get out through during times of siege. The link goes to an example of one.
