EDITORS COMMENTS
This aerial photograph, captured by the talented Damian Grady, showcases the remarkable Thornborough Henges in all their ancient glory. Nestled within the breathtaking landscape of Thornborough Moor in North Yorkshire, these three henge monuments stand as a testament to our Neolithic and early Bronze Age ancestors. What makes this image truly fascinating is the perfect alignment of these henges, which are almost identical in design. This meticulous arrangement hints at an intricate understanding of celestial movements and highlights the importance of astronomical observations during that era. As we gaze upon this prehistoric wonder from above, we can't help but marvel at the sheer scale and craftsmanship involved in constructing these earthworks. The precision with which each ditch and bank was shaped demonstrates not only advanced engineering skills but also a deep reverence for spiritual beliefs or communal gatherings. The tranquil beauty surrounding Thornborough Moor further enhances our appreciation for this archaeological treasure. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst modernity's rapid pace, remnants of our past continue to captivate us with their enigmatic allure. Thanks to Historic England's commitment to preserving such cultural heritage sites like Thornborough Henges, future generations will have an opportunity to connect with their ancestral roots and unravel more secrets from our distant past.
