What is recorded here
Folly gatehouse to Penrice Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Swansea, Wales. Perhaps it stood as a stubborn marker of pride rather than defence, forcing visitors to acknowledge the castle before entering. Maybe its gates swung open for lovers, merchants or mischiefmakers, each passing leaving a faint shadow on the stone. Imagine a hand pressing against the door at dusk, waiting for the castle to answer back.
