EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the rich historical heritage of Rotherley Down, nestled within the picturesque Cranborne Chase in Wiltshire. Dating back to the Iron Age and Romano-British era, this remarkable print showcases the remains of an ancient settlement that once thrived on these very grounds. The intricate earthworks visible in this image are a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors. From above, one can marvel at the well-preserved enclosures that were once bustling with activity and human life. These structures offer a glimpse into a bygone era, where communities flourished amidst these rolling hills. Photographer Damian Grady has masterfully captured both the grandeur and intricacy of this archaeological site. The composition allows viewers to appreciate not only its vastness but also its intimate details—the delicate contours etched into the landscape over centuries. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us. It serves as a poignant reminder that history is not merely confined within textbooks; it lives on through tangible remnants like these.
