This print showcases a remarkable reconstruction drawing of Maiden Castle, an ancient fortification nestled in the picturesque county of Dorset. Crafted by the talented Miranda Schofield from the esteemed English Heritage Graphics Team, this aerial perspective offers a glimpse into the iron age settlement that once thrived within these historic walls. The focal point of this illustration is a cluster of charming thatched houses, meticulously recreated to transport us back in time. With intricate details and vibrant colors, each hut exudes authenticity and invites us to imagine life as it was centuries ago. The thatched roofs provide shelter against the elements while adding a rustic charm to this ancient community. Maiden Castle itself stands tall and proud in the background, its imposing presence reminding us of its strategic significance during those bygone eras. As we gaze upon this graphic representation, we are transported into an era where daily life revolved around communal living and close-knit relationships.
