What is recorded here
Stream off hillside west of Cyfarthfa Castle is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps water still runs beneath the hillside, carving a hidden channel that no longer appears on modern surfaces. Maybe the castle rose beside that flow, taking advantage of depth and danger to keep its ground. Imagine a stone structure built where water could be stopped, redirected or watched, shaping the life of everyone who lived near it.
