EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Pilsdon Pen, a multivallate hillfort nestled in the picturesque county of Dorset. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2019, this stunning print showcases the remarkable earthwork and intricate details that make this ancient site so intriguing. Pilsdon Pen stands as a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship, with its multiple defensive ramparts creating an imposing structure against the backdrop of rolling hills. The careful composition of this image allows us to appreciate the scale and complexity of this historic hillfort from a unique perspective. In addition to the impressive fortifications, another fascinating feature visible in this photo is the pillow mound - an artificial rabbit warren created centuries ago for hunting purposes. This detail adds depth to our understanding of how people interacted with and shaped their environment throughout history. Furthermore, we can spot a barrow nearby, reminding us that Pilsdon Pen holds not only military significance but also cultural importance as a burial ground for past generations. These various elements come together harmoniously within Grady's expertly captured frame, inviting viewers on a visual journey through time. Whether you are an avid historian or simply appreciate breathtaking landscapes, this remarkable print offers both aesthetic pleasure and intellectual stimulation. It serves as a reminder that our heritage is rich with stories waiting to be discovered and cherished for generations to come.
