Hi

I´m translating a virtual tour of a medieval town and can´t find the translation for orejón.

Baluarte de la reina
Estructura que ha sido rehabilitada recientemente y que cumplía la función de defender los lienzos de la muralla con fuego artillero* Estamos aquí
1 Disparos
2 Flanco
3 Patio
4 Orejón

Thanks!
