Llanfair Discoed, Castle; Llanfair Castle stands in Monmouthshire, Wales, carrying marks from the Medieval and Post Medieval periods. The stones may have served as a home, a watchpost or a boundary marker, though no clear chamber or room survives to prove which. People may have lived beside the castle, tended its grounds or fled when danger came, but their names and choices have not reached us. What remains is a shape in the land, waiting for someone to imagine the life it once held.
