Nestled amidst the rolling hills of Northumberland, England, lies Housesteads Roman Fort, a remarkable testament to the rich history of the Roman Empire. This aerial photograph, captured by renowned photographer Dave MacLeod for Historic England, offers a unique perspective of this ancient fortification. 3. The image showcases the granaries, an essential component of Housesteads Roman Fort. These structures were used for storing grain and other provisions, ensuring the military garrison was well-supplied. The granaries, with their distinctive arched entrances and corbelled roofs, stand proudly against the backdrop of the rugged landscape. 4. Adding a sense of scale to the scene are the tiny figures of visitors, who can be seen wandering around the fort.

This aerial photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, inviting us to explore the history and stories that lie within the walls of this ancient fort. 6.
