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.

Built by the Normans in the 11th or 12th century, Radnor Castle was a strategic stronghold in the borderlands between England and Wales. It is remembered for its role in controlling the surrounding region during the medieval period.
