EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the Pocklington excavations, a significant archaeological endeavor that took place in May 2015. Located on Barmby Lane in Pocklington, East Riding of Yorkshire, this site was once home to an extensive barrow cemetery. The excavation was conducted as a necessary step prior to the construction of housing developments. The image showcases the meticulous work carried out by archaeologists as they carefully unearthed remnants from both square and round barrows within the cemetery. These burial mounds date back to the Iron Age, providing valuable insights into ancient civilizations that once thrived in this region. From an aerial perspective, one can appreciate the scale and complexity of this excavation project. The vastness of the site becomes apparent as rows upon rows of partially exposed barrows stretch out across the landscape. Dave MacLeod's skillful photography highlights not only the technical aspects involved but also conveys a sense of historical significance attached to these grounds. This photograph serves as a reminder of our duty to preserve and understand our past through archaeological exploration. Through projects like these, Historic England continues its commitment to uncovering hidden stories buried beneath our modern landscapes. By documenting such endeavors with stunning visuals like this photo print, we are reminded of our collective responsibility to protect and honor our shared heritage for future generations.
