caption_attribution_description: Deutsch: Römerturm bei Pohlheim Wp 4/49. Rekonstruktion von 1967. Neue Forschung hat gezeigt, dass die Limes-Wachtürme tatsächlich über ein Stockwerk mehr als hier dargestellt verfügten. Ein Beispiel ist der rekonstruierte Wachturm bei Idstein. English: Roman watchtower at the Limes, No. WP 4/49. Replica from 1967. New research has shown that the Roman Limes watchtowers possessed one more floor, as can be seen in the replica near Idstein.
context_page_description: A turret was a small watch tower, incorporated into the curtain wall of Hadrian's Wall. The turrets were normally spaced at intervals of one third of a Roman mile between Milecastles, giving two Turrets between each Milecastle.
context_section_description: The favoured value for the height of a turret is around 9 metres (30 ft) to the viewing platform. This was within the capabilities of the Roman engineers, and could be supported by the observed foundations, despite these foundations being significantly less deep than those used for the earlier Pike Hill Signal Tower.
