An embrasure is a hole in a defensive wall, through which defenders may fire at attackers. Crenelations are often seen on castle walls. They are the alternating square low spots through which an archer could fire, then duck back beside behind the wall. If you look at the US Army Engineers insignia, there are crenelations on top of the towers of the castle.
