(...) I'll mostly agree with Clark and Heather. For LDraw-ish-ness, I'd go with "Castle Turret 7 x 7 x 2 & 1/3 Quarter". If this part is ever modeled in LDraw, it's likely the existing part, (URL), would be renamed to "Castle Turret 4 x 8 x 2 & 1/3 (...) (24 years ago, 19-Mar-01, to lugnet.db.brictionary)
