What is recorded here

Pontsticill Reservoir water tower and outflow is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps the tower stood guard over water rather than land, its outflow a moat for machines instead of men. Maybe the reservoir gave up its depth to the valley, leaving the tower as a skeleton marker of what the water once held.
