EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of Barrow cemeteries in Somerset. The image showcases two prominent burial sites, Ashen Hill barrow cemetery and Priddy Nine Barrows Cemetery, both dating back to ancient times. Damian Grady's expert lens has perfectly captured the essence of these sacred grounds. The photograph reveals a mesmerizing landscape adorned with numerous round barrows, or burial mounds, scattered across the earthwork. These bowl-shaped structures stand as silent witnesses to centuries of human history and offer a glimpse into our ancestors' beliefs and rituals surrounding death. The composition highlights the harmony between nature and man-made structures, as lush greenery surrounds each individual mound. This juxtaposition reminds us that even in death, life continues to thrive around these hallowed grounds. Through this powerful visual narrative, Historic England invites viewers to reflect on the rich cultural heritage embedded within these ancient sites. Each barrow holds countless untold stories waiting to be discovered by those who dare to explore their mysteries. Damian Grady's skillful photography not only preserves this invaluable piece of history but also serves as a poignant reminder of our connection to those who came before us.
