What is recorded here

Oxwich Castle Defended Enclosure stands in Swansea, Wales, as a Roman and Iron Age site where human hands shaped the land before written memory. The earth may have held fences, gates or camps where people watched the coast, kept herds or waited for danger. Much of that life has faded, but the enclosure still marks the place where humanity first claimed the shoreline.
