What is recorded here
Afon Tanycastlell, Sheep Fold I marked a Post Medieval sheep fold beside the Conwy river. It is not a grand monument, but a small functional cut in the landscape where wool and weather met. People may have driven flock after flock through that narrow gap, counting heads while rain streaked the stones. The fold still belongs to the valley, waiting for shepherds who no longer walk its banks.
