Cawthorn Camps, North Yorkshire—a photogrammetric approach

Abstract

AbstractCawthorn Camps is a Roman site of probable late first and early second century date comprising two forts, one with a later annexe, and a camp. The site survives as earthworks and, within the main defences, there are many slight embanked structures. The current programme of research at Cawthorn is a joint initiative between the North York Moors National Park and English Heritage, the aim being to produce a revised management plan for this nationally important site. It is a multidisciplinary project combining the following disciplines: excavation, geophysical prospection, ground and aerial survey. Digital photogrammetry has been used to produce a plan, scale 1 : 500, of the earthworks to a precision of ±10 cm. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
