"Round or square" or...[edit]

"The turret was usually supported by stepped masonry corbels and could be round or square."

Except two of the photos show hexagonal bartizans, and where there were hexagonal designs there were probably also examples of octagonal ones. Can someone knowledgeable about the subject amend this, or explain why there are two photos that contradict the text? 12.233.146.130 (talk) 02:56, 15 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

As evidenced in some of the photographs, but not mentioned in the text, bartizans may also be covered (roofed) or open, with machicolations.

Your query is probably one that would be best answered on the reference desk WP:RD, help me tag usually relates to problems with editing wikipedia rather than the content - not 100% sure which of the reference desks would be most suited, perhaps humanities or miscellaneous. --_nonsense ferret 00:26, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

purpose[edit]

They were undoubtedly added to provide a protected field of fire against attempts to scale the wall, as well as, a guard outpost, somewhat the same as crenelations.

guerite[edit]

This word is French in origin and does not denote a bartizan; they are not synonyms. A guerite is a small wooden single-person stand used at guardposts and sentryposts; they shelter the soldier or Beefeater or Gestapo or whomever from the elements while they go about their duties.

Here's a cut and paste from http://www.larousse.fr/dictionnaires/francais/gu%C3%A9rite/38515:

"Abri pour un homme debout et servant aux factionnaires en cas d'intempéries." which google translates as "Shelter for a man standing and used for sentinels in bad weather." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1008:B105:A34E:85C2:D6A2:BF00:CFBB (talk) 01:54, 29 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]
