What is recorded here

Foel-Las, Castle Mound in Conwy, Wales, is a medieval and post-medieval motte where a mound still marks the shape of a lost castle. It may have served as a watchtower, a boundary marker or a military strongpoint, but the earth has swallowed the rooms and stairs that once gave it life. The mound remains a visible scar of human ambition, waiting for someone to imagine the hands that built it.
