This aerial photograph captures the timeless beauty of Winkelbury Hill, an Iron Age univallate hillfort earthwork nestled in the picturesque county of Wiltshire. Taken by the talented photographer Damian Grady and preserved by Historic England, this print transports us back to 2016 when it was captured. The image showcases the intricate details of this ancient site, revealing its impressive scale and design. The univallate hillfort's circular shape is clearly visible from above, surrounded by a single defensive rampart that once protected its inhabitants from potential threats. Its strategic location atop Winkelbury Hill offers breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. As we gaze upon this photo print, our imagination takes flight as we envision what life may have been like within these historic walls during the Iron Age. We can almost hear echoes of bustling activity and imagine families going about their daily routines within these protective boundaries. Winkelbury Hill stands as a testament to human ingenuity and resourcefulness throughout history. It serves as a reminder of our ancestors' ability to adapt to their surroundings while creating structures that withstood the test of time. This remarkable photograph allows us to appreciate both the natural beauty of Wiltshire's rolling hills and the rich archaeological heritage that lies beneath them. A true masterpiece capturing a moment frozen in time, it invites us to explore our past and connect with those who came before us on this very spot - an invitation impossible for any history enthusiast or lover of landscapes alike to resist.
