EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the majestic Wapley Hill, an Iron Age multivallate hillfort nestled in the picturesque county of Herefordshire. Damian Grady's expert lens skillfully brings to life this ancient earthwork, transporting us back to a time when this hillfort stood as a formidable stronghold. The image showcases the intricate design and strategic layout of Wapley Hill, with its multiple concentric rings of defensive ramparts and ditches etched into the landscape. The sheer scale and complexity of this archaeological marvel are truly awe-inspiring, offering a glimpse into the ingenuity and craftsmanship of our ancestors. As we gaze upon this print from Historic England, we can't help but imagine what life was like within these walls centuries ago. Perhaps it served as a bustling community hub or provided refuge during times of conflict. Its commanding position atop the hill offers breathtaking views that would have allowed its inhabitants to survey their surroundings with ease. Damian Grady's keen eye for detail allows us to appreciate not only the historical significance but also the natural beauty surrounding Wapley Hill. Rolling hills dotted with lush greenery provide a stunning backdrop against which this ancient monument stands tall. This print serves as both a testament to human resilience and an invitation for us all to delve deeper into our rich heritage. It reminds us that beneath our modern landscapes lie stories waiting to be discovered – tales that connect us across time and remind us of our shared humanity.
