What is recorded here
Castle at Cilgerran is a castle, fort or tower in Ceredigion, Wales. Perhaps stones stood here before memory, watching the coast for ships or storms. Maybe a keeper lived inside, listening to the sea instead of speaking to it. Imagine the tower still breathing, though no longer built for eyes.

Built by the de Harcourt family in the 12th century, Castle at Cilgerran is remembered for its strategic importance in the Welsh Marches and its role in the conflicts between Norman lords and Welsh princes.
