What is recorded here

Tower in the SW corner of Pontiscill Reservoir is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps it watched the water line rise and fall while people forgot the stones beneath. Maybe the tower kept a quiet record of rain, tide and passing shadows. Imagine a hand on cold brick at dusk, feeling the shape of what the reservoir swallowed.
