The town's buildings feature waddle and daub construction with good timber frames and a stone foundation protected by thatched or shingled rooves.

The town is protected by a well-crafted cobblestone fence tall enough to provide adiquite cover for defenders to fire from, but no more than that. Unfortuantly, these frontieer-style defences are in extreem disrepair, so much so that one cannot tell if they are decaying from a lack of mantance or damage incured.
