What is recorded here
Castle Hill, Gelligaer is a castle, fort or tower in Caerphilly, Wales. Perhaps stones still stand where men once watched the valley, their shadows stretching across grass that has forgotten every name. Maybe the hill itself remembers the weight of boots and the smell of rain on iron, holding what human memory has dropped.
