EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photo print, titled "The Ring JEH_22055_097" captures a mesmerizing sight from Cleeve Common in Gloucestershire, back in 1971. The focal point of this image is the remarkable oval enclosure earthwork known as "The Ring". Nestled on the picturesque Cleeve Hill, this ancient structure has stood the test of time and continues to intrigue historians and nature enthusiasts alike. Jim Hancock's expertly captured perspective offers a unique glimpse into this historic site. From above, we can appreciate the intricate design and grandeur of The Ring. Its perfectly shaped oval form stands out against the lush green landscape surrounding it. The earthwork's purpose remains shrouded in mystery, adding an air of enigma to its already awe-inspiring presence. As we gaze upon this photograph, our imagination takes flight with thoughts of ancient rituals or gatherings that may have taken place within these hallowed grounds centuries ago. We are reminded that history is not confined to textbooks but lives on through tangible remnants like The Ring. Hancock's skillful composition allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and natural beauty intertwined at Cleeve Hill. This print serves as a powerful reminder of our connection to the past and encourages us to explore further into England's rich heritage.
