What is recorded here

Outer wall at Montgomery Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps stones clashed there until men stopped throwing them. Maybe the wall still holds the shape of that last argument. Imagine running a palm along the outside and feeling the angle at which human pride broke against local air.

A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.

Built by Roger de Montgomery in the late 11th century, Montgomery Castle was a key Norman stronghold in the Welsh Marches. It is remembered for its strategic role in controlling the border region between England and Wales and for its well-preserved outer wall.
