The Valley Gate was fixed by a man named Hanun and the people that live in the town of Zanoah. Those people built the Valley Gate. They put the doors on their hinges. Then they put the locks and bolts on the doors. They also fixed 500 yards {\cf2\super [9]} of the wall. They worked on the wall all the way to the Gate of Ash Piles.
