Ramparts, or defensive walls, were often built around settlements or cities in ancient times. Their primary purpose was to act as an impenetrable barrier for attackers. From the top of ramparts, or from specially made 'arrow slit' windows, defenders could fire upon any intruders in relative safety. However, ramparts also were used often in daily life as a means of getting around a castle, town, or other settlement, and were sometimes utilized as storage spaces.
