Aerial Atlas of Ancient Britain by David R. Abram

A collection of aerial photographs exploring some of Britain’s most remarkable prehistoric sites. From stone circles and ancient burial mounds to hillforts and early settlements, the photographs offer a different way to see the traces our ancestors left across the landscape.

Taken from above, often in the soft light of dawn, the images show how these ancient places sit within their wider surroundings. Neolithic enclosures, Bronze Age villages, cairns, tombs, burial mounds, and Iron Age hillforts reveal their shapes and connections to the land, while the changing landscape around them offers clues to how these places may once have been used.

Spanning almost 6,000 years of history, this is a beautiful book for anyone drawn to Britain's countryside, ancient places, and the stories held within the landscape. Alongside familiar sites such as Stonehenge, it brings attention to lesser-known places that take on a new character when seen from above.
