tower/turret
Depends what it looks like and what its original function was, but 'tower' will serve if the context is more descriptive.

The difference is that a turret generally projects off a building, where a tower rises directly from the ground. So if the castillete projects above a roof or off the side of a building, it's a turret. If it's free-standing, it's a tower.

Note from asker:
| Could it be lookout tower? From my understanding, once the attackers made it to the "castillete" they entered the castle in hordes... So it seems to be at the entrance. I don't have the original with me, but I will take a look again to provide better context. Thanks! |

little castle
Another option if it is more than a tower though a small building.
