What about the Temple Bar, London? It's not even mentioned. Thundercloud (talk) 17:25, 24 September 2013 (UTC)

Page needs a re-write and the examples are terrible.
None of these are archetypes of the gatehouse. Most are not military examples. Mostly its just a bunch of "stuff". 99.241.105.253 (talk) 00:02, 2 July 2014 (UTC)

See above; still no proper definition, systematics (evolution, types)
Any article without a proper definition is close to useless. The user is left to guess. The German Torhaus apparently describes buildings either attached to gates or enclosing them, but the English term is used for complex fortified gate structures of various types which always include the gate passage itself. I have this from interpreting the context in various archaeological articles, which are not covering the whole field anyway, and here we need sources and clear definitions. This page is still just a collection of words & pictures that don't add up to constitute an answer to the basic questions one approaches an encyclopedic article with: what? why? when? how? and so on.
