What is recorded here

New Radnor Castle earthworks is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps men dug those trenches during a dangerous age and watched shadowy shapes move through the valley. Maybe the soil still remembers the weight of boots and the smell of wet grass after rain. Imagine a keeper standing at the edge, not afraid but proud, knowing the land would keep the shape long after people forgot the name.
