What is recorded here
Cyfarthfa Castle - west is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps its west face caught the first light of every iron age dawn. Maybe the stones still remember the heat of forges long gone. Imagine a keeper walking that edge, reading weather in the colour of the sky.
