Trivia

• Upon entering the fort, there is a doorway blocked by spikes and guarded by two werewolf heads on sticks. There is a pull chain on the pillar behind the left head which will retract the spikes and allow entrance to the rest of the fort.
• Prior to the addition of the Werewolf Vargr in Dawnguard, Gallows Rock contained the only inherently hostile werewolf in the game.
• The fort is an excellent source of the ingredient Human Flesh, because it may be looted from all werewolf corpses.
• Treasure Map VII leads to Gallows Rock.
