This print showcases the remarkable aerial reconstruction of Old Sarum, an Iron Age settlement located in Wiltshire. Created by Peter Dunn and his talented team at English Heritage Graphics, this graphic representation offers a unique glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when this rural area was fortified for defense. The image captures the intricate details of the ancient fortification, highlighting its strategic positioning on high ground. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the layout of the settlement, with huts scattered throughout and pathways connecting different areas. It is truly fascinating to witness how our ancestors constructed such impressive structures without modern technology. Old Sarum's historical significance cannot be overstated; it serves as a testament to human ingenuity and resilience. This print from Historic England Photo Library provides an invaluable resource for researchers, archaeologists, and history enthusiasts alike who seek to understand our collective heritage.
