What is recorded here

Pontsticill Reservoir valve tower and spillway is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps water still moves through its bones when the valley sleeps. Maybe the tower holds more pressure than stone should bear. Imagine standing beside it at dawn, listening for the spillway’s breath.
