EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial print by Dave MacLeod showcases the remarkable Chew Green earthworks in Northumberland. The image captures the intricate remains of a Roman fort, fortlets, camps, and even a medieval settlement and chapel. Dating back centuries, these ancient structures stand as a testament to the rich history that once unfolded on this very spot. The photograph beautifully captures the snow-covered landscape surrounding these archaeological wonders. The pristine white blanket enhances the visual impact of each earthwork, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports viewers back in time. It is as if we are witnessing history frozen in time. The Roman influence is evident through the well-preserved fortifications and temporary camps visible from above. These strategic military installations were once bustling with activity and played a crucial role in shaping the region's past. Intriguingly, nestled among these ancient ruins lies a deserted medieval settlement and chapel. Their presence adds another layer of historical significance to this already extraordinary site. Dave MacLeod's expert photography skills have immortalized this unique location for all to admire. Through his lens, we gain insight into our ancestors' lives while marveling at their architectural achievements against nature's backdrop. This print serves as both an educational tool for historians and archaeologists alike and as a stunning piece of art that allows us to appreciate our heritage from new heights.
