Framed Photos from Historic England
Barrow cemetery, Fittleworth 29744_033
Bronze Age barrow cemetery in Fittleworth, West Sussex. This photograph taken in 2015 depicts the cropmarks of five, possibly six, circular buried ditches, which would have once surrounded the mounds of Bronze Age barrows close to the river Rother. Barrows were mainly burial places but were also used by the living for carrying out ceremonies. The mounds of barrows will be familiar to many people when walking along the South Down Way in this part of West Sussex. Along the River Rother archaeologists have discovered many more burial mounds hidden away in the woods and commons, but it was extremely unusual for Historic England to discover any cropmarks on these sandy soils

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mysterious beauty of Barrow cemetery in Fittleworth, West Sussex. Taken in 2015 by Damian Grady, it showcases the cropmarks of five, possibly six, circular buried ditches that once encircled Bronze Age barrows near the river Rother. These barrows served as burial places for ancient communities but also held significance as ceremonial sites. As one walks along the South Down Way in this part of West Sussex, they may come across these iconic mounds that have stood the test of time. However, what makes this discovery truly remarkable is that Historic England rarely uncovers cropmarks on sandy soils like those found here. The photograph offers a unique aerial perspective on archaeology and allows us to appreciate the hidden treasures beneath our feet. Alongside the River Rother, countless more burial mounds lie concealed within woods and commons waiting to be explored by curious minds. Damian Grady's skillful lens has captured not only an archaeological marvel but also a testament to human history and its connection with nature. This image serves as a reminder of how our ancestors revered their departed loved ones and celebrated life through ceremonies held at these sacred grounds. Historic England continues to unravel fascinating stories from our past through such discoveries, shedding light on ancient civilizations and enriching our understanding of who we are today.
