What is recorded here
Castle earthworks at New Radnor is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps men dug those trenches during a border war, dragging stones while rain soaked their boots. Maybe the castle rose above the earthworks, casting shadows across the valley before flames took it. Imagine walking the rampart at dusk, hearing footsteps behind you that belong to no one living.
