What is recorded here

Caernarfon Castle in the 1980's is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps its stones still carried the heat of arguments about who owned the mountain and who merely watched it. Maybe children ran through chambers where kings once debated the shape of an empire. Imagine the castle not as a dead thing but a living witness, remembering every hand that touched its walls.
