EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial view captures the remarkable Warborough Cursus in Oxfordshire, showcasing a plethora of intriguing cropmarks and ancient features. The photograph, skillfully captured by Damian Grady, offers a unique perspective on this prehistoric site. The parallel lines visible in the image are indicative of the cursus ditches that define this significant archaeological monument. These elongated earthworks were created during the Neolithic period and hold great historical value. Alongside these distinct markings, one can also spot ring-ditches, enclosures, and various other enigmatic features scattered across the landscape. The print serves as a testament to our ancestors' ingenuity and their deep connection with the land. It allows us to marvel at their ability to shape and transform their environment thousands of years ago. Historic England has preserved this invaluable snapshot for future generations to appreciate and study. Through careful examination of such images, archaeologists gain insights into past civilizations' social structures, religious practices, and daily lives. Damian Grady's expert lens has not only captured an awe-inspiring scene but has also immortalized an important piece of history. As we gaze upon this photograph print today, we are reminded of our shared human heritage and encouraged to delve deeper into understanding our roots through archaeological exploration.
