Here are a bunch of illustrations, all from the same source: BNF Latin 9333, a version of Tacuinum sanitatis. There are also plenty of square merlons shown as well.

More interesting, perhaps, is the source's provenance; Rhineland, 1400-1425. It's a strong indicator of more western representation - and it obviously has dating contemporary with the VMs.
