What is recorded here

Pontsticill Reservoir spillway and tower is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps the tower watched water flow rather than invaders, guiding rain into the valley when the reservoir swelled. Maybe its stones still carry the pressure of that hidden work, steady and patient beneath the hills.
