Battlements were/are part of the defenses of an fortified structure. They are the crenellations (evenly spaced gaps) in the top of a wall, or tower. They are designed to give defenders a chance to shoot bows (and later guns) or throw/drop things at the attacking force without exposing themselves to return fire.
