sentry-boxes
Soldiers' standing booths
Sentry-boxes are small shelters, typically just large enough for one standing guard, placed at entrances to military installations, palaces, or other secured locations.
They protect sentries from weather while allowing them to monitor who comes and goes: The guard stepped out of his sentry-box to check credentials.
