What is recorded here
Valve Tower, Llwyn-on Reservoir is a castle, fort or tower in Merthyr Tydfil, Wales. Perhaps water flowed through its bones before men ever lived there. Maybe the tower was built to measure rain, not to keep enemies out. Imagine a knob of stone rising from the reservoir like a joint in the earth, turning the whole valley into a living thing.
