In castle/fortress design, what do you call the wall placed immediately inside the gates that prevents the enemy from having a straight shot into your fortress? (imgur.com)

You see something similar in the entranceway to public bathrooms that don't have doors, where it kind of zig-zags for privacy. I'm trying to figure out what this kind of architectural feature is called. Thanks!

End of page 62 and all of 63 - looks like a "screened" baffled gate.

"Titulum" is the name of that specific wall.
