EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph showcases the impressive Maiden Castle, the largest hill fort in Britain. Despite over 2000 years of erosion, the ramparts still stand tall at around 6 meters high in certain areas, a testament to its historical significance. Encompassing an expansive area of 18.8 hectares, this ancient fort holds evidence of occupation dating back to the late Stone Age and Early Bronze Age around 3000BC. However, it was during the Iron Age circa 350BC that Maiden Castle acquired its current dimensions. The Romans later captured this formidable stronghold around AD 43. Located near Dorchester in Dorset, UK, this print captures not only a stunning countryside scenery but also offers a glimpse into our rich archaeological heritage.
