EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print showcases the remarkable Ladle Hill hillfort, an unfinished Early Iron Age marvel nestled in the picturesque Hampshire countryside. Damian Grady's expert lens captures the essence of this ancient earthwork, transporting us back to a time when fortifications were paramount for protection and community cohesion. The univallate design of Ladle Hill hillfort is evident from above, with its single defensive rampart encircling the site. This strategic feature highlights the importance placed on security during this era. The intricate details of the earthworks are beautifully captured by Grady's skilled photography, allowing us to appreciate both their scale and craftsmanship. As we explore this image further, our eyes are drawn to a round barrow situated within the hillfort's boundaries. This intriguing burial mound serves as a poignant reminder of those who once inhabited these lands and provides valuable insights into their customs and rituals. Grady's print not only offers a glimpse into our rich history but also invites contemplation about human existence throughout time. It reminds us that beneath our modern lives lie layers upon layers of stories waiting to be discovered. With every glance at this stunning photograph, we are reminded of how important it is to preserve and protect these archaeological treasures for future generations.
