Quote:The difference is that this time, a line of watchtowers was added. The one at Utrecht is not there to control a road or another strategic location, but a "classical" limes watchtower, to send signals from one castellum to the next.

Can you tell us where this watchtower has been published, Jona? From your post, it sounds as if it is an isolated feature. Is it possible that it is connected with a particular fort, perhaps to enhance the local security?
