I'm assuming they're more for spotting the enemy coming and sending a signal by...erm...setting fire to the roof... or similar rather than being in and of themselves defensive.
It's also pretty tiny and wee to really look too imposing - but I'm fine with that I like my scenery representative rather than 100% accurate.
Glad there's evidence of something similar - good enough for me!
I have considered a base, with possible defensive fence around it - but that's maybe for another day...
Andy, don't you already own one of those lovely Grand manner ones - this would look like a tiny toy next to that!
No burning took place tonight - war was cancelled due to bad weather in the Nottingham area!
Thanks for all the feedback chaps.
