What is recorded here
Earthworks of Caerau Fort is a castle, fort or tower in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Perhaps men dug those ridges while believing walls could hold back destiny itself. Maybe the soil remembers every boot heel and abandoned lantern. Imagine standing inside the curve where human smallness became visible.
