Uphill and more to the north from the “ancient palace” there is a massive structure that on maps is identified as “bastion”. On a website about the excavations one can read ". In ancient times, large towers known as bastions, independent of the walls, designed to strengthen the defense, appear in Sillyon. There are 2 bastions in the city, 1 in the lower city and 1 in the acropolis." This must be the lower one. "Ancien times" is a bit broad. The text explains that over the ages the walls haved been extended and improved, incorporating the steep rocks asw natural defense.
