Tags used in combination

• name=* - if the bastion is named. Do not use the name of the fortification to tag individual bastions.
• ref=* - for the number of the bastion. Note that counting bastions was usually done counter-clockwise.
• heritage=* - if the bastion has a heritage status. If only the entire fortification has a heritage status, do not use heritage tags for individual bastions.
• start_date=* - year of completion
