would puncture the toughest of barriers,
00:00:07.441 --> 00:00:09.372
but the entrance to Rochester Castle
00:00:09.372 --> 00:00:11.999
was up on the first floor,
00:00:11.999 --> 00:00:14.266
protected by the forecastle, heavy doors,
00:00:14.266 --> 00:00:16.591
and a portcullis,
00:00:16.591 --> 00:00:19.945
making it impossible to maneuver a large battering ram
00:00:19.945 --> 00:00:21.923
anywhere near the gate.
