EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph captures the majestic Cadbury Castle, an ancient multivallate hillfort nestled in the picturesque Somerset landscape. Dating back to the Iron Age, this remarkable earthwork stands as a testament to the rich history and ingenuity of our ancestors. The image showcases the intricate design and strategic positioning of this hillfort, revealing its multiple concentric rings of defensive walls that once protected its inhabitants. The sheer scale and complexity of these earthworks are awe-inspiring, leaving us marveling at the engineering prowess displayed by those who built them centuries ago. From this elevated perspective, we gain a unique insight into how Cadbury Castle commanded its surroundings. Its prominent location atop a hill offers commanding views over the surrounding countryside, providing both protection and surveillance for its occupants. As we gaze upon this print by Damian Grady from Historic England, we can almost transport ourselves back in time to when life within these walls was bustling with activity. Imagining daily routines unfolding within these fortifications evokes a sense of wonder about what stories lie buried beneath each layer of soil. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of our shared heritage and invites us to explore further into Britain's fascinating past. It encourages us to appreciate not only the physical remnants left behind but also the intangible connections between generations that continue to shape our present-day understanding.
