Neolithic long mortuary enclosures in Stoke Hammond, Buckinghamshire
Features below the plough soil that cause cropmarks can be man-made or natural. In this case its both. The man-made features are two elongated, capsule shaped enclosures, a circular enclosure and a few large pits. The rest are marks in the gravel, created naturally during the Ice Age. The capsule shaped enclosures are examples of one of the oldest types of monument in Britain called Neolithic Long Mortuary Enclosures. They re thought to be areas where dead bodies were placed before burial although theres debate within the archaeological community about what really went on in these enigmatic places

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing Neolithic long mortuary enclosures in Stoke Hammond, Buckinghamshire. The image captures the enigmatic features below the plough soil that have caused cropmarks, revealing a combination of both man-made and natural elements. Amongst these markings are two elongated, capsule-shaped enclosures, a circular enclosure, and several large pits. However, what truly fascinates archaeologists is the presence of marks in the gravel that were naturally formed during the Ice Age. The focal point of this photograph lies within the ancient capsule-shaped enclosures which represent one of Britain's oldest types of monument - Neolithic Long Mortuary Enclosures. These structures hold great significance as they are believed to have served as resting places for deceased individuals before their burial. Yet, there remains an ongoing debate within the archaeological community regarding their true purpose and function. Damian Grady has expertly captured this aerial view with meticulous attention to detail. The composition allows viewers to appreciate not only the intricate design of these historic enclosures but also provides insight into how they interact with their surrounding landscape. Through this remarkable image from Historic England's collection, we are transported back in time to unravel mysteries hidden beneath our feet and gain a deeper understanding of our ancestors' customs and beliefs.
