Ost-in-Giriltir (S. "Castle of the Cirilwatch") was built under King Ciryandil, just before the end of the first millennium of the Third Age, but the site had harbored fortifications ever since Lamedon was first subjected to Gondorian military rule (T.A. 752). It consisted of a walled keep with a spacious courtyard, in which governmental buildings and the barracks of the Lamedon Regiment were found. Until the return of King Aragorn Elessar, the castle saw only minor architectural alterarions. It never fell to siege (which was hardly surprising, since no enemy ever got close enough to besiege it). The lords of Lamedon live here, and fulfilled their duties with the help of taxes levied upon the province.
