Sconce would be my word of choice as well.

Very nice build
I think you trees look fine as is and I am sure you have enough animals that can be imported from you FIW set up, they wouldn't look out of place, the pond looks good as well I like the well as well and the bucket with water in it works

Not sure if it's going to help with your build, but it may produce a smile.   :)

A memory arose after Romark said 'Sconce' and I sought out this photo. Around 1975 I think at Powderham Castle, showing a sconce. Being a Royalist I was safely ensconced inside the sconce. This shows the frustration of one of the Roundhead officers at their inability to effect an entrance to said sconce!

Another little terrain gem in the making there Steve.

As to the name, sconce works for me - question is jam or cream first?  :D

I was at one of those ‘the siege of Powderham Castle’ mass re-enactments round about 1975. Small world lol

Well, that is a coincidence. Which side were you on? I was in Hopton's Regiment in the King's Army.

I’ve actually got a load of the Pegasus animals - for example a flock of sheep is being repurposed from my Nappy Penninsular War project  8)

I almost took up ECW re-enactment. In I think 1982/83 I enquired of a unit based at I think Basing House, but never followed it up.

I was at Powderham in the late 90's/early 2000's (can't remember which really) although there was no siege going on that year, just a field battle.
