What is recorded here

Foel Tower on Garreg-ddu Reservoir is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps water closed the valley and swallowed the tower, leaving only a submerged shadow beneath the reservoir surface. Maybe the lake rose to hide a violent boundary or a forgotten household, forcing people to remember the tower through absence rather than stone. Imagine standing at the water's edge, watching for a shape that no longer answers back.
