This aerial photograph captures the enchanting beauty of Chysauster, an Iron Age to Roman settlement site nestled in Gulval, Cornwall. Taken by talented photographer Damian Grady in 2016, this print showcases the rich history and architectural marvels that lie within this ancient landscape. The image reveals a mesmerizing fogou, a unique underground structure found only in Cornwall. Its mysterious presence adds an air of intrigue and fascination to the scene. Surrounding it are earthworks that bear witness to centuries of human habitation and activity. At the heart of this settlement lies a remarkable courtyard house, its layout meticulously designed for communal living during those distant times. The remnants of walls and structures stand as testaments to the ingenuity and craftsmanship displayed by our ancestors. Chysauster's significance extends beyond just one era; it is a testament to both Iron Age civilization and subsequent Roman influence on these lands. This print serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and allows us to appreciate how different cultures have shaped our world over time. Damian Grady's skillful composition perfectly captures the ethereal atmosphere surrounding Chysauster. With every glance at this stunning image, we are transported back through time, immersing ourselves in the stories whispered by these ancient stones.
