I have used building=yes.
If castles are to have a building=castle then so too do other 
buildings.. building=palace ...

At the moment I have used barrier=wall .. to that can be added height 
and material tags.

The difference between a city wall and a castle wall? Higher? ... Both 
have some defensive capability.

Some times the building inside the castle also has defensive 
capabilities too.

Considering the numbers and variability .. within OSM I'd think a tag 
that covers any defensive wall would be best..

barrier=defensive_wall?

The difficult part is to signify the wall has a path along its top, and 
is castellated.

How is the 'Great Wall of China" tagged ?

Perhaps in the future?
barrier=defensive_wall
height=6
defensive_wall:path=yes
defensive_wall:path:width= 6
defensive_wall:castellated=yes

You can tell what the wall surrounds ..usually by looking.
