What is recorded here

Beeston Castle Crag from far distant Nercwys is a castle, fort or tower in Flintshire, Wales. Perhaps it stood as a watchtower above the coast, reading storms before they broke. Maybe soldiers kept fire in its chamber while darkness swallowed the valley. Imagine a hand pressing a marker into red clay, naming the crag for someone who never returned.
