Er...Dark Citadels cost 1200 gold and take 5 turns to build...not what I'd call cheap and utterly disposable. Only the various "City" type forts are more expensive.
Er we're both wrong, they're 1000/4 - and I meant Ermorian castles.
Hrm...did you check in-game? I was referencing Edi's spreadsheet, where both types of Dark Citadels (the land and water versions) are listed as 1200/5. If you can confirm we should post in Edi's database thread as a typo correction.

As far as disposable fortresses, perhaps the "Dead City" castle (listed in Edi's db as 800 gold, 3 turns, 10 admin, 100 supply and 200 defense) would be both thematic and suit your gameplay goals. Using something with the "Ermorian" tag that's not Ermor or even Ermor related seems less desirable.
