Valhale Castle

Here are the beginnings of a smallish castle, being built around a new tower atop the low mound. Workers have dug deep trench lines about 10' wide and as deep, down to a hard clay, and it can be seen that they are in the process of mortaring the foundations of the wall which they will build above. Work has barely begun, but the outlines of bastions, towers, a gatehouse and a keep can be noted. The keep is atop the second hillock, and considerable excavation has taken place, the earth from this digging going to use in the walls around the whole. Some dressed stone blocks are visible, evidently having been carted in from elsewhere, as they are not similar to local stone.
