Three-quarters of the Mole's Town lies beneath ground in deep damp warm cellars connected by a warren of tunnels. Mole's Town brothel is located in the cellars, with nothing on the surface but a wooden shack no bigger than a privy, with a red lantern hung over the door. [1]

About

The Mole's Town brothel is regularly frequented by the Brothers of the Night's Watch. It is said that Brothers of the Night's Watch go to Mole's Town to dig for "buried treasure" - which is the polite way of saying that they go to Mole's Town to drink, unwind and engage the services of whores. They are in fact breaking their vows but this particular kind of oathbreaking is ignored as Lord Commanders know some men find it impossible to be celibate and after they are done with the whores the men will return to the Wall and their duties. [1]
