EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, captured by the talented photographer Damian Grady, showcases the mesmerizing Chysauster 33205_030 in Gulval, Cornwall. This site is a remarkable testament to the rich history of Iron Age and Roman settlements in this region. As we gaze upon this image, our eyes are immediately drawn to the mysterious fogou that stands prominently amidst the earthworks and courtyard houses. The fogou, an underground passage unique to Cornish settlements of this era, adds an air of intrigue and mystique to Chysauster. The intricate earthwork patterns visible from above reveal a well-organized settlement layout that once thrived with activity. It's awe-inspiring to think about how these ancient people meticulously planned their homes within these walls centuries ago. Chysauster tells a story of resilience and adaptation as it transitioned from an Iron Age community into a Roman settlement. The remnants left behind offer glimpses into daily life during those times - bustling streets filled with merchants trading goods or families gathering around hearths for warmth. Damian Grady's skillful capture allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the sheer beauty of this archaeological gem. As we admire this stunning photo print, let us be reminded of our connection to those who came before us and honor their legacy by preserving sites like Chysauster for future generations to explore and learn from.
