EDITORS COMMENTS
. This aerial photograph, captured by talented photographer Damian Grady, offers a mesmerizing view of Uffington Castle. Nestled on Whitehorse Hill in Oxfordshire, this ancient univallate hillfort stands as a testament to the rich history and enigmatic past of Iron Age Britain. The image showcases the intricate earthwork that encircles the hillfort, revealing its strategic design and defensive capabilities. The circular shape is reminiscent of an enormous fortress guarding against potential threats from all directions. As we gaze upon this remarkable site from above, we are transported back in time to an era where tribes sought refuge within these imposing walls. Uffington Castle's significance extends beyond its architectural marvels; it holds deep cultural and archaeological value. Its origins date back over 2,000 years when early inhabitants shaped the landscape with their hands and tools. This print serves as a window into their lives—offering glimpses into daily activities, rituals, and perhaps even battles fought within these very grounds. As we contemplate this awe-inspiring scene, let us appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship but also ponder upon the stories left untold by those who once called Uffington Castle home.
