I tried this last night, and came up with something that looks OK.  I posted
some LDraw images to Brickshelf:

The second and third images are color-coded; the dark grey parts are 1x2 plates
with 1 stud and the blue is a 1x1 tile.  The third and fourth show a fatter
style with wedges going back from the wall, so the archer can reach a wider
angle through a thick wall without having a wider slit.

Very attractive design!

My favourite way of doing arrow slits is just doing straight vertical slits
half a brick wide. This makes for a much harder window for an enemy to shoot
through. You can do pairs of them easily by using a few of the 1 by 2 plates
which have a single stud in the middle on the top. I've been trying to
figure out how to make cross shaped ones which are that thin, possibly using
SNOT tecnology. There must be some way.

cheers
