What is recorded here
Pontsticill Reservoir - Intake tower is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps water climbed inside its bones before leaking into the valley below. Maybe the tower was built to hold rain back when the hills wept. Imagine a keeper pressing his palm to cold stone, listening for the reservoir’s heartbeat.
