In the drought of 1976 we had an amazing crop of aerial photographs of archaeological sites. Given the number of comparisons being drawn between 1976 and this year, are we getting similar images?

Woden Law hillfort in SE Scotland, showing the complex set of earthwork defences. It lies very close to a Roman road, with Roman camps less than 2km away
