What is recorded here

Tower on Lake Vyrnwy (Llyn Efyrnwy) is a castle, fort or tower in Powys, Wales. Perhaps it watched the water for thieves or marked a boundary no longer drawn. Maybe its stones still hold the heat of hands that built them. Imagine a boat passing close enough to touch the wall but never see the top.
A named place photographed at this map point in Powys.
Built in the 19th century as part of the construction of the Lake Vyrnwy reservoir, the tower is remembered as a historic structure associated with early water management and civil engineering efforts in Wales.
