Settlement, Gillsmere 28366_033
Iron Age Roman settlement at Gillsmere, Cumbria. The low winter sunlight in this aerial photograph reveals subtle details of this late Iron Age or Roman settlement. The two round houses are separated from the surrounding land by an embanked boundary with an entrance on the southern side, opening towards a stream. The settlement is sheltered by rising ground to the south and looks out across views north of the Howgill Fells. The remains of medieval or post medieval ploughing - showing here as parallel ridges and furrows - shows that this area was in agricultural use for a long time

This aerial photograph, titled "Settlement, Gillsmere 28366_033" offers a mesmerizing glimpse into the rich history of an Iron Age Roman settlement in Gillsmere, Cumbria. Bathed in the soft glow of winter sunlight, this image unveils intricate details of a late Iron Age or Roman community. The focal point is two round houses that stand proudly amidst the landscape. Separated from their surroundings by an embanked boundary with a southern entrance leading towards a nearby stream, these dwellings exude an air of tranquility and seclusion. Nestled against rising ground to the south, they offer shelter while providing breathtaking views northward towards the majestic Howgill Fells. A fascinating aspect revealed in this photo is evidence of medieval or post-medieval ploughing. The parallel ridges and furrows etched across the land indicate that this area was utilized for agricultural purposes over an extended period. This discovery adds another layer to our understanding of how humans have interacted with and shaped this landscape throughout time. Photographer Dave MacLeod skillfully captures not only the physical remnants but also the essence and spirit of this ancient settlement through his lens.
