>LiDAR – New discovery #2 in Tower Wood – Kent
>Location: 51°15’17”N 0°04’25”E DTM- (Digital Terrain Model, i.e. No buildings or foliage)
>Kent HER: TBA
>Directly south of the village of Westerham within Squerryes Park lies a nice bivallate contour hillfort of the same name.
>On the same LiDAR tile, I noticed a possible multivallate IA site with an extensive defensive outwork NE of Squerryes Park hidden within Tower Wood. This went off to KENT HER for their evaluation a few weeks ago.
>KENT HER has given it the nod and as awaiting additional evaluation from their in-house archaeologists:
>‘Thank you very much for spotting this and alerting us. I have had a look, and we do not have a record for these earthworks, so we will create one as soon as we can. I will check with my colleagues to see whether anyone has any comments to add to your interpretation and will let you know if they do. ‘ – Dr Rose Broadley, KENT HER
>Many thanks to u/anders.archaeology for mentioning it to KENT HER after my previous post!
>This is exactly what LiDAR based archaeology is all about and what keeps me investigating.
