What reading level is Castles of Ireland Some Fortress Histories And Legends book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
From this the wall was continued northward to the Store Tower near Dame's Gate, which was in its turn connected with the eastern gate tower. There were two sallyports in the wall.
Of the eight towers which once protected the fortress only the Wardrobe Tower now remains, often erroneously called Birmingham Tower. This, as its name implies, is where the royal robe, cap of maintenance, and other furniture of state were kept. The sword of state is still preserved there, and also the records which w...ere removed from Birmingham Tower. The lower portion is the original masonry, but an upper storey was added when the Chapel Royal was built. The Birmingham Tower was rendered unsafe by an explosion of gunpowder in Ship Street and had to be taken down. A lighter structure was erected on the site, which contains the present kitchen and viceregal supper-room. The other towers were gradually- removed to make room for new buildings.
The Anglo- Irish used to decorate the gate and walls of the castle with the heads of the slain, and in 1316 some four hundred heads were sent from Wicklow for this purpose.
