EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the ancient Cawfields Milecastle, a vital stronghold along Hadrian's Wall in England. Built by the Romans in 1867, this milecastle served as a crucial lookout point manned by up to eight soldiers. The milecastles were strategically placed every Roman mile along the wall, forming a formidable line of defense. In this image, we see the rugged stone walls of the milecastle standing strong against the test of time. The sheep grazing peacefully nearby serve as a reminder of how nature has reclaimed this historic site over centuries. As we gaze upon this archaeological wonder, we are transported back in time to when Roman soldiers stood watch over these lands, ready to defend their empire from any threat. The history and significance of Hadrian's Wall come alive in this photograph, reminding us of the rich heritage that lies within its ancient stones. Mary Evans Picture Library has beautifully captured the essence of Cawfields Milecastle in this print, allowing us to appreciate and admire the craftsmanship and ingenuity of our ancestors. It is a testament to human resilience and innovation that continues to inspire awe and wonder today.
