Glenwhelt Leazes Temporary Camp: Aerial Assessment
Author(s): Cara Pearce
An area surrounding Glenwhelt Leazes Roman temporary camp (NLHE: 1010993) was mapped in order to better understand the monument for heritage management purposes. The survey used lidar as its main resource in order to enhance NMP mapping of the site which was undertaken in 2003 as part of the Hadrian’s Wall NMP project. At the time of that project lidar was not a widely available dataset. As part of the programme of work, the mapping undertaken during the project was used to create plans aimed at making the site accessible to stakeholders and visitors. The report outlines the form of the monument, impacts of past land management and land use, and discusses how to present such data to a non-archaeological audience.
