16:58 LIDAR (DSM, 1m) copyright Environment Agency (2022) - enhanced for archaeology.
Castle Hill, Alnham, Northumberland.
Iron Age multi-vallate hillfort and Romano-British enclosed and unenclosed settlements (possibly earlier). No, LIDAR doesn't have to be grey!
Here comparing LIDAR enhanced for archaeology field survey with the Survey Plan from English Heritage's 2001 Report (by the best in the business).
"The principal monuments in the survey area are the Iron Age hillfort itself, with a sequence of overlying livestock enclosures and circular hut sites of probable Romano-British date, which continue east and north-east outside the hillfort. There is evidence for cultivation on the hillslopes during the prehistoric, Romano-British, medieval and later periods. Several trackways crossing the hilltop were also probably in use during the Romano-British period. On the north-west flank of the hill, pre-hillfort settlement is evidenced by a group of unenclosed huts which might date to the Bronze Age."
