EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view of Richborough Roman Fort in Sandwich, Kent, offers a glimpse into the rich history that lies beneath its green earthwork. The fort, also known as Rutupiae, served as a significant naval base during ancient times and played a crucial role in protecting Britain's coast. The photograph showcases the remarkable triple ditch defenses that were constructed during the early 3rd century. These intricate defensive structures surround the concrete base of the monumental arch from the 1st century. It is truly awe-inspiring to witness how these architectural marvels have withstood the test of time. Adding to its historical significance, this image reveals another layer of defense – an outer defensive wall belonging to a Saxon Shore fort.

Damian Grady's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate both the grandeur and strategic importance of Richborough Roman Fort. Its aerial perspective provides a unique vantage point that highlights not only its physical features but also invites us to reflect on centuries-old military tactics and cultural heritage.
