What is recorded here

Water garden, St Fagans castle is a castle, fort or tower in Cardiff, Wales. Perhaps men built stones beside moving water because dry land felt incomplete without that voice. Maybe the garden fed hungry hands while the tower watched for danger. Imagine rain striking green leaves and castle walls at once, making one living body instead of two separate things.
