A very interesting set of photos - a lot of effort to compile.

A number of the forts have lightweight wooden looking constructions on 1 or 2 corners of the towers. These look a bit like the hordings on medieval castles so that stuff could be dropped on attackers. But as they are over corners not doors, I'm not sure this is there purpose. Does anyone know what these are for?

Thank you for the link and photos posted.
May inspire me to model such a tower and a mini action around it.
