Dutch term or phrase: uitgekraagde hangtorens
"Het middendeel van het gebouw heeft twee uitgekraagde hangtorens."

In de beschrijving van een kasteel uit de 16e eeuw wordt gesproken over uitgekraagde hangtorens, wat geloof ik hetzelfde is als een gekraagde hangtoren.
Een hangtoren is een toren die niet helemaal tot aan de grond strekt, en uitgekraagd wil zeggen dat de stenen lagen zo zijn gemetseld dat ze naar boven toe uitlopen. Deze kraag bevindt zich dus onder de hangtoren. Weet iemand hoe dit in het engels heet? Een voorbeeldplaatje is hier te vinden: http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kasteel_Maurick

I don't know whether the asker can change it. You could try asking a site guide on http://www.proz.com/guidance-center/get-help whether it can be done and if so, how to do it. If you find out how, perhaps you can let us know.
