When Sam attempts to rescue Frodo from the Tower of Cirith Ungol his path is initially blocked by the Two Watchers and he has to use the phial of Galadriel to pass them:
He drew Sting and ran towards the open gate. But just as he was about
to pass under its great arch he felt a shock: as if he had run into
some web like Shelob's, only invisible. He could see no obstacle, but
something too strong for his will to overcome barred the way. He
looked about, and then within the shadow of the gate he saw the Two
Watchers.
There is no mention as to what exactly the watchers are, only some insinuation that they contain some kind of evil force. Is a description of what the watchers are made in any of the literature outside of the Lord of the Rings?
