What is recorded here

Waun Yn Pant y Dinas in Claerwen Valley is an Iron Age and Medieval hillfort, a place where human hands shaped the land before written memory began. The name suggests a castle within a valley basin, perhaps a fortress built on or beside a hidden hollow. People may have lived there through seasons of rain and drought, watching the valley fog rise and fall. The earth still holds the shape of their choices, even if every wooden beam and stone wall has returned to soil.
