What is recorded here
South-western tower of the Gilfach Ddu workshops is a castle, fort or tower in Gwynedd, Wales. Perhaps it stood as a quiet watcher above the valley, its stones cooled by rain and warmed by sun. Maybe workers built it for practice, not war, learning craft through repetition. Imagine a hand pressing chalk to rough rock, marking height and angle before the climb.
