What is recorded here
Ramparts at Gaer Fawr hill fort is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps stones and soil still hold the shape of hands that built them. Maybe watchers stood above the valley when men measured distance in breath and shadow. Imagine rain striking old mortar while the hill keeps its quiet company.
