What is recorded here
Castlecary is a bronze-age spearhead, a sharp instrument thrust into the earth before humans learned to build walls. It predates the Roman fort, the medieval tower, and the legends that swarmed it like flies on honey. The land remembers shape before name, and Castlecary is one of those places where the boundary between human history and deeper time collapses. What we call antiquity is merely the age when the spearhead stopped being visible.
