EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dave MacLeod showcases the mesmerizing Thornborough Henges in North Yorkshire. Nestled on the north bank of the River Ure, these three henges are an integral part of a larger ritual landscape that includes a cursus, mortuary enclosures, and Bronze Age barrows. Each henge holds its own unique allure. The nearest henge is now only visible as a cropmark, hinting at its ancient existence beneath the earth's surface. However, the further two henges still proudly display their significant earthworks, standing as testaments to human ingenuity and craftsmanship from the Neolithic era. As you gaze upon this image, you can't help but be transported back in time to when these structures were first constructed. The sheer scale and precision of these circular monuments leave one in awe of our ancestors' ability to shape their environment with such grandeur. Dave MacLeod's photograph perfectly captures both the mystique and majesty of Thornborough Henges. It serves as a reminder that there is so much more to discover about our past and how it has shaped our present-day landscapes. This print invites us to ponder upon the rituals and beliefs that once took place within these sacred spaces while appreciating their enduring beauty for generations to come.
