What is recorded here
Eastern side of Chirk Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Wrexham, Wales. Perhaps the eastern stones faced the worst weather or the most dangerous invaders. Maybe guardians watched that direction because trouble arrived from there. Imagine the castle pointing one side outward like a finger warning everyone to keep alert.
