What is recorded here
Penbury Hill Fort Rampart is a castle, fort or tower in Dorset, England. Perhaps soldiers marched the rampart until sweat soaked their clothes and hunger sharpened every sound. Maybe the hill watched people come and go while its stones kept every footprint hidden. Imagine a hand pressing against rough stone at dusk, feeling the weight of all the lives that passed above.
