The Wansdyke & District Forums

Another for the deserted-village file. The Environment Agency lidar tiles are free to download now and I have lost a happy winter to them. There is a beauty of a shrunken village showing up under the plough-lines out west of us, house platforms and a hollow-way clear as day, nobody had it flagged. Goes to show how much is still out there if you only know how to look down from above.

This is the work, Colin. Every one you find and set down is one that cannot be quietly forgotten. I only wish the technique had come forty years sooner, for all the ones we have already lost the thread of.

this is amazing, im at uni doing archaeology now btw, partly cos of arguing with you lot when i was 16. is the lidar hard to get the hang of?

Not a bit of it Jordan, and will you look at that, off to put us all right. Send me your email and I'll walk you through the download. We made an archaeologist, board. That may be our finest hour.
