Filming on Game of Thrones Season 7 rolls on. Yesterday, we reported on a new set going up in the Mourne Mountains of Northern Ireland. The production has covered fields near Kinnahalla outside Hilltown with fake snow. To what end, we don’t know.

Today, cameras were rolling in the location, and The Outlook has some pics of the action.

We’re still far off, so we can’t make out any actors.

But a line of people on horseback will trot through this snowy landscape.

According to The Outlook, there’s “a major production presence with cranes, lorries and temporary structures set up.” It’s a serious shoot.

Goya Photography has a closer look at one of those structures.

The structure above looks beyond what most wildlings can build, so I’m guessing this location isn’t beyond the Wall. We’re likely looking at someplace in the North. Maybe this is the remains of Mole’s Town. However, given that winter is here and all, snows may have started to fall in the Riverlands or elsewhere in Westeros. This could just about anywhere.

But if we go with the obvious, this is probably somewhere in the North. Perhaps this is a scene Bran will film on his way to Winterfell, after he gets past the Wall. The line of horses may be some Night’s Watchmen escorting him and Meera to

his half-brother/cousin

Jon Snow.

Alternatively, it could be somewhere Sansa or Littlefinger travel near Winterfell. Or perhaps Arya will pass this way should she try and come north after her stay in the Riverlands.


Or it could be something completely different. In any case, according to Goya Photography, it “[l]ooks like they have finished filming in this location,” so these may be all the images we get. What do you guys make of them? Sound off below.
