What is recorded here

Dinefwr Castle and Afon Tywi is a castle, fort or tower in Sir Gaerfyrddin / Carmarthenshire, Wales. Perhaps the castle walls still remember the weight of boots and the smell of wet stone. Maybe the river carries voices lost to time. Imagine a hand releasing a marble into the current, trusting water to finish what human life began.
