Machiolate

Whose double towers support a pond'rous gate, / With fatal battlement machiolate.

He views the iron-studded doors, / The vaulted roof, and corridors, / And turrets through whose pierced walls / Machiolate, the weight might fall / Of scalding streams of molten lead / Upon besiegers' fated head.

The square tower, with its machiolate battlement — all that is left of the castle has been visited by pilgrims from every clime.

These churches had such defensive features as thick walls, loopholes, machiolate parapets and towers.
