Join Dr Toby Driver, Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Wales, for a fascinating lecture exploring the stunning aerial archaeology of the Gwent Levels and their hinterland between Chepstow in the east and Cardiff in the west. Toby will be available for a Q and A session following the presentation.

The lecture will explore the stunning aerial archaeology of the Gwent Levels and its hinterland between Chepstow in the east and Cardiff in the west. Taking to the skies in a light aircraft the lecture will explore
hidden cropmarks of henges, burial mounds, hillforts, and Roman villas which continue to be discovered in south-east Wales in drought summers and in low winter light.

Aerial recording by the Royal Commission throughout the year also takes in historic and protected monuments, industrial landscapes, townscapes and foreshore archaeology along the Severn Estuary revealed during extreme low tides. The lecture will also look at how drones and airborne laser scanning
have revolutionised archaeological recording in recent years.

This free lecture will be delivered via Zoom and the invitation will be sent to you once you have booked your place: (please don’t forget to download Zoom if you haven’t already!)
