swing bridge Explanation: "Water filled moats surround the castle, which was reached by a pivoted swing bridge leading to an entrance passage with iron bound doors and a portcullis." "Swing bridge" and "swivel bridge" seem to be used pretty much interchangeably (with and without hyphen!), but I found the above quote specifically in relation to a castle. Hope it helps.
