fortifications (castellum)
Explanation:
CASTELLUM A Fort, most always constructed on a standard plan. The basic plan or layout for a Castellum was the same, whether in Britain, Gaul or Syria.
Нагледен пример за този вид римско укрепление (стена) - http://images.google.bg/imgres?imgurl=http://web.missouri.ed...
Мижте и линковете по-долу относно българската крепост Кастра мартис, която се състои от две части - малко квадратно укрепление- квадрибургий и кастел, разположен южно на него. Съществуват си двете понятия наистина - a quadriburgium and a castellum - пак има скица за яснота.

Кастел е caste, средновековните крепости (замъци) са пак castle.

agree  atche84: разликата с долния отговор е, че са писани по едно и също време и никой от двамата не е видял другия, преди да прати отговора - за съжаление често явление в Кудоз
