No, it was more of a design feature to help with what a castle was used for primarily .
A drawbridge
Nope , it was a defensive design in case the castle was attacked , something that would help the soldiers inside ( it’s really humble thing , nothing fancy and actually doesn’t cause destruction to anyone , just a feature to help those inside mainly)
In a 4 turret castle, 3 have a spiral staircase wound to assist a right handed defender and one is wound to favour a left handed defender. Think swinging a sword and the propensity of left handers.
Do I get a photograph of a £5 note?
Thanks to the guide in Conwy castle about 20 years ago.

Lmao I fucking had a sneaky feeling it would be you 
.
Didn’t know about four sided turret castles…but apparently every castle in England does have spiral staircases that wind upwards clockwise .
Well done

Right then, let’s go all Buck Rodgers. What’s the tallest mountain (that we know about) in the solar system.
Conwy has an anti-clockwise turret for the lefties. Now there’s a political insult that’s just reared its head. “You’re just an anti-clockwise staired tower defender aren’t you?”
Can’t wait to use that one. Where’s @Mascot when you need him?
It’s not Olympus on Mars that I do know
Why do I have a sneaky suspicion it’ll be some underwater mountain on Earth?
Problem is I have no clue as to any of their names
Oh dear. I think the judges need to get involved here; what to do when a guy gives the right answer but says it’s the wrong one.

I think the judges need to make a call , because we had a quiz in work and the answer was triple checked after much debate…the tallest mountain apparently is on a comet or something
Edit just checked, without naming the mountain…but the asteroid is called vesta and has a mountain on there that is taller than Olympus
A scary thought when you consider the volcano’s colossal size. Olympus Mons is the largest planetary mountain in the solar system, but there’s a mountain on the asteroid, Vesta, that is the largest mountain around. Called Rheasilvia, the mountain is a mere 315 feet higher than Olympus Mons

Staying on theme what is the tallest mountain on earth from base to top 
I refer your honour to my previous answer but add that I think it is in one of the pacific archipelagoe
