Not all of these towers are round, so perhaps the article should be renamed? Any suggestions on a new name?
Jersey coastal towers is one possibility. Danrok ( talk) 17:22, 26 April 2013 (UTC)\
Maybe call it Fortifications in Jersey fortifications in Jersey, it could be the same format as it is now, just that if all German fortification types can be included on this one page, it would mean that there wouldn't need to be a seperate German fortification page with overlapping information.
A couple of discrepancies between the article and the source I have to hand (that source being William Davies' book The Coastal Towers of Jersey, 1991). First, the article states that the machicolations were added during the Napoleonic Wars. Davies maintains that they were part of the original design, and it was only the later towers which omitted them. Unfortunately the earliest image I can find is a plan of Rocco Tower from 1798. This includes machicolations, and was intended to indicate how much work had been completed at that point, so presumably the machicolations were originally included in the (earlier) design. That doesn't really help us with the design of the original towers, however. Also, the article states that Round Towers were not originally intended to carry a gun, but were retrofitted with a 12-pounder carronade, again at the start of the Napoleonic Wars. Davies states that a gun was included from the start, specifically an 18-pounder cannon (the model in the Jersey Museum appears to sport this type of weapon, certainly a cannon rather than carronade.) 94.197.149.65 ( talk) 09:22, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
