The remains of the late-Iron Age / Roman period native settlement at Milking Gap, near Hadrian's Wall, under a starry night sky.


The Pleiades star cluster is present in this image and so is the Hyades cluster together with the bight star Aldebaran and other stars in the Orion constellation. A crescent moon - resolved far larger - lights up the lower right part of the image.
