EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print captures the enchanting Bells Moor shieling, nestled in the picturesque landscape of Northumberland. The ancient earthworks depicted here are believed to date back to either the Medieval or Post Medieval period, adding a layer of historical intrigue to this remarkable site. The image showcases the intricate details of the shieling's earthworks, revealing an enclosure that once served as a vital pastoral shelter for livestock during seasonal transhumance. These well-preserved features offer us a glimpse into centuries-old farming practices and highlight the resourcefulness of our ancestors. Dave MacLeod's expertly captured photograph also highlights another significant aspect - drainage systems intricately woven within these earthworks. This ingenious engineering allowed for effective water management, ensuring optimal conditions for both humans and animals alike. As we gaze upon this stunning visual representation, it is impossible not to be transported back in time. The tranquility exuded by Bells Moor shieling evokes a sense of peace and harmony with nature that has endured through generations.
