This hillside close to my home was once home to an ancient settlement going back to the earliest times. Later, the Romans built a road below it and who knows the stories of those who passed that way? Today few in the village know or care about what lies beneath the grass of that slope, yet perhaps the older families in this small community may trace their origins all the way back to those first settlers and travellers… Meanwhile the sheep that will provide this generation with warmth and food graze peacefully, recycling history.
