What is recorded here
Remains of Waytemore Castle motte is a castle, fort or tower in East Hertfordshire, England. Perhaps the earth still holds the shape of a tower that never needed stone. Maybe the grass presses against a wooden scaffold long rotted into soil. Imagine a knight standing above the valley, reading the weather in the sway of barley.
