EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dave MacLeod showcases the fascinating history and natural beauty of Haresceugh Fell in Cumbria. The image captures a unique perspective from above, revealing several intriguing features that tell stories of the past. In the foreground, we see the remnants of a former Busk lime kiln and limestone quarry. These structures were once bustling with activity, as they played a vital role in producing lime for construction purposes. The weathered stones stand as silent witnesses to centuries of human labor and ingenuity. Moving further into the frame, our eyes are drawn to an earthwork that encloses what appears to be a medieval settlement. This stone-walled enclosure is interpreted as a dwelling, offering glimpses into how people lived during this era. It's remarkable to imagine life within these ancient walls and ponder upon the tales they could tell if only they could speak. Adjacent to the dwelling enclosure lies another stone-walled stock enclosure. This structure likely served as protection for livestock or storage space for agricultural produce - evidence of an agrarian lifestyle intertwined with nature's bounty. Overall, this aerial view provides us with an awe-inspiring glimpse into both human history and nature's enduring presence on Haresceugh Fell. Through Dave MacLeod's lens, we are reminded of our connection to those who came before us and inspired to preserve these cultural landmarks for generations yet unborn.
