EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print takes us on a journey back in time to the majestic Birdoswald (CAMBOGLANNA) Roman Fort, nestled along Hadrian's Wall in Cumbria. The image beautifully captures the grandeur and historical significance of this ancient site, showcasing its sprawling earthworks and intricate ridge and furrow patterns. As we gaze upon this remarkable scene, our imagination is ignited by the stories that once unfolded within these walls. Built during the Roman occupation of Britain, Birdoswald stood as a formidable stronghold guarding the northern frontier of their empire. Its strategic location atop a ridge offered commanding views over the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal vantage point for monitoring any potential threats. The attention to detail captured by photographer Damian Grady allows us to appreciate both the scale and complexity of this archaeological gem. The well-preserved remains reveal glimpses into daily life at the fort; from barracks where soldiers once resided to administrative buildings that housed commanders overseeing operations along Hadrian's Wall. Thanks to English Heritage's dedication to preserving our nation's history, sites like Birdoswald continue to inspire awe and curiosity today. This photograph serves as a testament not only to its enduring legacy but also reminds us of our responsibility in safeguarding these cultural treasures for future generations. In essence, Damian Grady's stunning aerial shot transports us through time, offering a unique perspective on one of England's most iconic Roman forts – an evocative reminder of our rich heritage etched into every stone.
