What is recorded here
Castlelaw Hill holds a mound and cisterns from an unknown time, waiting beneath the training area where rifles still shout. The gun ranges may drown human voices, but they cannot erase the older shapes buried in the soil. Perhaps the hill remembers more than the men who fire beside it.
