What is recorded here
Roft Castle Cottage stands in Marford as a Post Medieval house, its name suggesting a lost fortress that time reduced to a domestic shadow. The distinction between castle and cottage may mark more than pride; it may record the moment a defensive border became a kitchen wall. That transition is common across Wales, where martial stone was cooled into household warmth. The cottage still belongs to that change, preserving the instant when fear became residence.
