EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, taken by the talented photographer Dave MacLeod, showcases the intriguing Burgh Le Marsh cropmarks in Lincolnshire. The image captures a double ditched enclosure crop mark, potentially indicating the presence of a Roman villa from ancient times. The photo reveals an intricate network of markings etched into the landscape, hinting at a rich history buried beneath the surface. These enigmatic crop marks are believed to be remnants of human activity and structures that have long since disappeared. Located near the charming village of Burgh Le Marsh, this archaeological site holds immense significance for historians and enthusiasts alike. It serves as a window into our past, offering tantalizing clues about life during Roman times in this region. The precision with which MacLeod has captured these crop marks is truly remarkable. Every detail is brought to life through his lens – from the distinct double ditches forming an enclosed area to other subtle features that can only be appreciated from above. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking print by Historic England, we find ourselves transported back in time. Our imagination runs wild as we envision what once stood within these boundaries - perhaps grand villas or bustling communities thriving centuries ago. This photograph not only celebrates our heritage but also reminds us of how much more there is to discover beneath our feet. It invites us on a journey of exploration and reflection while igniting our curiosity about those who came before us.
