Earthwork; Earthwork

What is recorded here

North of Deganwy Castle, raised earth and buried timber mark a Post Medieval and Medieval enclosure where human hands shaped the land before stone. The works may have guarded a gate, stored grain or excluded herds, yet their true purpose has faded. What remains is a ridge of soil and memory, waiting for someone to walk it and imagine the lives that pressed it into form.
