What is recorded here

Dolbadarn Castle, SW of Llanberis is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps stones still hold the shape of hands that built them. Maybe the valley wind carries voices from rooms without walls. Imagine a guard standing at the edge, not against invasion but against forgetting.
