LONDON (Reuters):
The exceptionally dry early summer months in Britain have revealed
the ghostly outlines of several hundred previously unknown
ancient sites buried in fields across the English countryside.
From Roman forts to Neolithic settlements and military remains dating to
World War Two, English Heritage has been busily photographing the
exciting discoveries from the air.
Known as crop marks, the faint outlines of unseen buried structures
emerged because of the length of the dry spell, leading the national
conservator to label 2010 a vintage year for archaeology.
"It's hard to remember a better year", said Dave MacLeod, a senior
investigator with English Heritage.
