• Dungeon Wayrest\The Hold of Ashford has only two interior blocks - Wx18 (0,0) and Nx57 (1,0). This places blocks in an east-west configuration relative to each other.
• There are the usual geomorph links between these blocks from either side, but links on both sides terminate with a dead-end in the block interior. There is no traversal route between them I can see.
• There are no teleporters in the game data for these blocks - which wouldn't help much anyway as teleporters only transfer player around within the same block. The problem is traversing blocks from east to west.
• This dungeon is essentially non-viable in an east-west configuration. Either block would be fine if adjacent to a different block, or in a larger dungeon with more routes, or even if these blocks were placed in a different config such as north-south. They might even be fine with blocks swapped around.

We all know Daggerfall's dungeon design has some impossible configurations, and this is unfortunately one of them. If we can start curating a list dungeons with invalid configurations, it might be possible to come up with some general solution for them down the road. At the moment, this is just one of the many little errors inherited from the game data.
