What is recorded here

Radnor Castle earthworks is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps men dug those trenches during a border war, hauling soil until their shoulders bled. Maybe the castle rose above them, casting shadows long enough to swallow the valley at dusk. Imagine the stones falling silent while the dirt remained, holding the shape of a room no longer built.
