What is recorded here

Rills Valley Pond Bays in Castleton held water for fish through the Post Medieval period, embedding itself in the Vale of Glamorgan landscape. People likely tended those bays, reading ripple and shadow for dinner while valley winds cooled the surface. The pond has no grand monument, yet it preserved a practical rhythm of local life.
