Self-contained rotating gun platform (6)

I believe the answer is:

turret

(Other definitions for turret that I've seen before include "Small tower, on tank or castle" , "Armoured tower" , "Feature of tank" , "Small tower on building or tank" , "One of two rings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
