What is recorded here
Castle on a precipice is a castle, fort or tower in Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales. Perhaps the cliff edge cut through the foundations, forcing builders to carve stone rather than lay it. Maybe guards leaned against walls so thin the sea wind passed through them. Imagine a tower tall enough to touch cloud base but narrow enough that one person could block the doorway.
