EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, captured by the talented photographer Damian Grady, showcases the mesmerizing beauty of Fyfield Down in Wiltshire. The image transports us to a time long ago, where ancient civilizations once thrived and left their mark on the landscape. At first glance, our eyes are drawn to the intricate field system earthwork that stretches across the vast expanse of Fyfield Down. These carefully constructed patterns tell a story of human ingenuity and resourcefulness, reminding us of how our ancestors skillfully utilized every inch of land available to them. Adjacent to this remarkable field system lies an awe-inspiring sight – the Giants Grave Long Barrow. This prehistoric burial mound stands proudly amidst its surroundings, serving as a testament to both human mortality and reverence for those who came before us. Its presence evokes a sense of mystery and wonderment about what secrets lie within its ancient chambers. The strip lynchet earthwork adds another layer of intrigue to this already fascinating scene. These terraces carved into the hillside reveal evidence of centuries-old agricultural practices, showcasing how humans have shaped and cultivated this land throughout history. Through Grady's lens, we are reminded not only of our connection with past civilizations but also our responsibility as custodians of these precious archaeological treasures. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder that these sites hold immense cultural value and should be cherished for generations to come.
