Timber siege tower

Medieval wheeled siege tower (belfry), a 4 m square three-storey oak frame 8.6 m to its breastwork, clad in boards with raw ox hides nailed over the front and sides, arrow slits, internal ladders between plank floors, four solid plank wheels with iron strakes, push bars at the rear and a hinged assault drawbridge at the top platform that lowers onto the castle rampart's merlons. Raw weathered timber, mud-caked wheels and base, scorched boards, hides blackened by fire arrows, arrow holes and broken shafts, rusted ironwork.
