What is recorded here
The saddle between Highgate Hill and Castle Hill is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps the land dipped only to force two rising guards to watch opposite roads at once. Maybe builders chose the hollow because a valley view appears when both hilltops align. Imagine a rider crossing the saddle at dawn, reading the shape of the castle before entering either hill.
