What is a "hoarding"?

A hoarding is a temporary wooden structure built on the outer walls of a castle or fortification, designed to provide additional protection for defenders. It typically extends outward from the top of the walls, creating a covered walkway or platform where soldiers can safely shoot arrows or drop objects on attackers below. Hoardings are often supported by brackets or beams, allowing defenders to have a better vantage point while remaining shielded from enemy fire. This feature is commonly associated with medieval architecture, enhancing the defensive capabilities of castles during sieges and battles. Hoardings also contribute to the imposing appearance of fortifications.
