EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the remarkable Ladle Hill hillfort, an unfinished early Iron Age marvel nestled in the picturesque landscape of Hampshire. Damian Grady's expert lens transports us back in time to witness this ancient earthwork that has stood the test of centuries. The univallate design of Ladle Hill hillfort is a testament to the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its Iron Age inhabitants. The concentric rings encircling the site create a formidable defensive structure, offering insights into their strategic thinking and societal organization. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost envision the bustling activity that once animated these very grounds. Beyond its military significance, Ladle Hill also holds secrets within its soil. The presence of round barrows suggests that it was not only a fortified settlement but also served as a final resting place for those who lived here long ago. These burial mounds add an air of mystery and reverence to this already enchanting site. Damian Grady's photographic skill effortlessly captures both the grandeur and subtleties of Ladle Hill hillfort. His keen eye allows us to appreciate every intricate detail from above, providing a unique perspective on one of England's most significant archaeological treasures.
