What is recorded here
Stone on tower of St Illtud's Church, Upper Church Village is a castle, fort or tower in Rhondda Cynon Taf, Wales. Perhaps the stone marks a boundary drawn by hands that no longer remember the shape of the land. Maybe rain wears the edge smooth while the meaning stays sharp inside the bone of the mountain. Imagine a person standing there at dusk, not proud but aware, watching the valley change colour like a living thing.
