What is recorded here

Cardigan castle, east tower is a castle, fort or tower in Ceredigion, Wales. Perhaps the east tower watched the harbour not for trade but for the shape of shadows moving across the water at dusk. Maybe its stones still hold the pressure of hands that climbed them in fear, not pride. Imagine the tower standing incomplete, not ruined, but waiting for the rest of the castle to remember itself.

Built by the Norman de Harcourt family in the 12th century, Cardigan Castle's east tower is a significant remnant of the medieval fortifications that controlled the strategic crossing point of the River Teifi. It is remembered for its role in the defense and administration of the Welsh Marches.
