Hello all,
The past few months I have been collecting data for GIS models for my dissertation. Just finishing off putting in the last dregs sent to me from HER's before my giant 12k word write up begins!
I havn't decided on a full title yet but I am basically looking at early forts in Herefordshire to make "predictions" (i use that word lightly) on where settlements and other forts may be found. There has been very little work undertaken on roman herefordshire and i have lots of interest in my work already from surroundign county HER's!
If anyone has anything interesting or useful i could use i would be greatful and welcome all questions :grin:

Nothing useful I'm afraid, but it sound sinteresting!
I got that impression a few years back when I was through the area so I look forward to seeing the end result! :-)

That sounds good. I am always disappointed that the Archwilio site is SO determined to retain the current Welsh borders that Herefordshire is excluded. But then again we don't want to get into feudal "wars" again!
For those of you who haven't seen the Welsh site, it is a fabulous resource for all archaeological periods.

There's a huge Iron age hillfort there, which was occupied into the 1st century AD. There have been ongoing student excavations there, not heard anything about a seperate Roman site.
A team I know have been wanting to dig on the MOD land there but, as it's where some of 'them' are based, applications have been refused.

Well, one could look at it as a glorious example of continuous use for military purposes! Not bad if it's been IA or even earlier and we're now in the 21st Century :wink:
