EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable Danebury Hill Fort, a true testament to the rich history of Hampshire. Created by talented artist Karen Guffogg, this reconstruction drawing transports us back to the Celtic Iron Age, around the 2nd century BC. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship in this illustration truly bring this ancient fortification to life. The focal point of this image is undoubtedly the round houses nestled within the quarry hollow behind the imposing rampart. These circular dwellings were an integral part of daily life for those who inhabited Danebury Hill Fort centuries ago. With their thatched roofs and sturdy walls, these huts provided shelter and warmth for families during a time when community was paramount. Karen Guffogg's artistic talent shines through in every stroke of her pen as she expertly captures not only the physical structures but also conveys a sense of authenticity and atmosphere. This illustration serves as a valuable historical document, allowing us to visualize what life might have been like during this fascinating period. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, we are reminded of our connection to our ancestors and how they shaped our world today. It is through works like these that we can appreciate both their ingenuity and resilience while gaining insight into our own cultural heritage.
