From A Wiki of Ice and Fire
The kitchen of the Nightfort is where food used to be prepared at the abandoned castle of Nightfort.
Layout
The kitchen of the Nightfort is a stone octagon with a broken dome that contains a huge central well which descends into the earth. A skinny and twisted weirwood has grown through a hole in the kitchen's slate floor.[1]
Hidden in the kitchen's well, the Black Gate is a magical subterranean gate that allows passage to the other side of the Wall and is as old as the Wall itself.[1]
