EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken in January 2000, offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the ancient landscape of Normanton Down in Wiltshire. The image showcases the remarkable remains of barrows scattered across the terrain, providing an intriguing insight into Bronze Age burial practices. As we gaze upon this snapshot from above, we are immediately struck by the unique juxtaposition between ploughed fields and these sacred monuments. The relentless force of time has left its mark on this landscape; however, it is through careful preservation that these barrows have managed to survive as unploughed islands amidst cultivated land. The significance of this print lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in its historical value. It serves as a testament to our ancestors' reverence for their deceased loved ones and their desire to create lasting memorials. These barrows once served as communal cemeteries where rituals were performed and stories were etched into the very fabric of the earth. Thanks to Historic England Archive's meticulous documentation efforts, we are able to witness this archaeological treasure firsthand. This image invites us to reflect on our connection with those who came before us and encourages us to appreciate the rich tapestry of human history woven throughout our landscapes. In essence, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time - an aerial window into a forgotten era when bronze age communities thrived here among these rolling hills and fertile plains.
