It actually took researchers a long time to truly figure out the logic and thought process behind bossed stones when it came to old castles. Appearing in both unpolished and polished material alike, they could never put their finger on why they were so important.
However, the brightest of minds finally figured out that they were built to lessen the impact of projectiles. Basically, the bossed stones would help diffuse the overall force into different sections of the wall. It’s one of the older techniques that you’ll see, and it’s very fascinating.
