tower guards
Castle wall sentries
Tower guards are personnel stationed at towers to provide security, surveillance, or defense.
The term appears most often in contexts of prisons, military installations, and historical fortifications, where elevated positions offer tactical advantage: The tower guards spotted the escape attempt.
In fantasy games and fiction, tower guards are stock characters protecting castles or dungeons.
