What is recorded here
Bank at Castle Neroche is a castle, fort or tower in Somerset, England. Perhaps the bank still holds the shape of a hand that threw earth against rain and invasion. Maybe men lived inside that ridge, listening for horses or children crying in the dark. Imagine the stone gone, the wood rotten, the name surviving only because someone remembered the shape of the danger.
