EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Dave MacLeod showcases the fascinating historical site of Car Colston in Nottinghamshire, England. The image captures the intricate remains of a Minor Romano-British villa, surrounded by a moat and accompanied by medieval manorial and village earthworks. Dating back centuries, this site offers a glimpse into the rich history of Roman occupation in Britain. The aerial perspective allows us to appreciate the sheer scale and complexity of this archaeological wonder. The moat encircling the villa stands as a testament to its defensive nature, providing protection against potential threats during ancient times. Additionally, six fishponds can be seen nearby, serving as evidence of an advanced agricultural system that sustained both residents and visitors alike. Notably, the presence of ridge and furrow patterns within the earthworks suggests extensive farming practices carried out on these lands throughout medieval times. This visual reminder highlights how human activity has shaped this landscape over time. Dave MacLeod's expert photography brings forth an appreciation for both the grandeur and intricacy present at Car Colston. It serves as a reminder that beneath our modern world lies layers upon layers of history waiting to be discovered and explored. This photograph is not only visually stunning but also invites viewers to ponder upon our shared heritage while marveling at mankind's ability to adapt and thrive across different eras.
