Perfect illustration of the resilience and ‘stratigraphy’ of desire lines.
They often feature in closely observed archaeological #EarthworkSurvey 🏺📌

A little comic about desire paths.
Ok so… There’s a nice little park on a corner, and a path running directly to one edge of the park. That’s the first image, but there’s 12 other images here. In the second image, there is now a desire path running diagonally across the park. Next image, the path has been blocked by a park bench that the council has put in as a deterrent. Unfazed, in image 4 the path now deftly avoids the park bench. In images 5 and 6 the process is repeated, this time with a strategically placed bin which the desire path also avoids. Presumably in a fit of rage, the council plants an entire hedge to stop people creating new desire paths but eventually this too is defeated and a new path find a way. Finally, the council admits defeat and turns the desire path into a proper paved pathway. After a little while, a new desire path curving off this new paved pathway begins to emerge…

🌳Fascinating site visit to Ambresbury Banks in #EppingForest this week with Historic England.
It's one of two Iron Age Hillforts which the City of London Corporation conserves at this site.

Oh, absolutely! #EarthworkSurvey & #HachureHeaven are in my very bones. In my (rare) spare moments at work I am gradually adding more of the legacy RCHME & EH hachured survey reports to HE’s public database.

Many kindred spirits of this ilk to be found in the LSG… @landscapesurvey.bsky.social

Yes, we all got too carried away exploring and nerding together over #EarthworkSurvey & #LandscapeSurvey to post the rest of the event, but we may revisit that trip on here sometime…

Love this! And thanks for bringing the #HachureHeaven tag across to this happier place ✨

Been teaching graphical #EarthworkSurvey & in situ hachuring out in the North York Moors today 😊

Oh I love this Allan, great to see your story in print!

(and with the bonus of bit of #EarthworkSurvey & #HachureHeaven snook in there with your Figsbury Ring illustration and Beacon Hill mention 💚)
