watchposts
Lookout positions manned
Watchposts are elevated or strategic positions from which guards or sentinels observe an area for signs of danger or intrusion.
The term appears in military and biblical contexts: Sentries manned the watchposts along the wall.
A watchpost serves the same function as a watchtower but may be a simpler, less permanent structure.
