I've also encountered this problem a number of times . You stick a hording
on one side and the entire thing looks wonky.
I think they really need to be butted into a corner to work, and seeing as
most of my castles end up being square, there is never an external corner to
put one :)
I've got some nice photos of the hordings on Caerphilly Castle I can put on
my site if people are interested
