One addition to the overall fortification pattern that seems to have appeared later in the Heian Period was the free-standing multi-storeyed watchtower. These structures would become very common during the Sengoku Period, when they were built to a considerable height. Those of the Heian Period resembled the watchtowers of Yoshinogari except that they did not have thatched roofs but planking, and the outward-sloping parapet of the gatehouses. An example of a free-standing watchtower is included at the Fujiwara Heritage Park.
