What is recorded here
Dinas Dinorwig Iron Age Fort is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps people climbed the slope before roads existed, carrying firewood or warning others that strangers walked nearby. Maybe the stones marked a boundary between families who argued about grass, goats or marriage. Imagine a woman standing at the edge, pointing inward because the land itself had become a room.
