Author(s): Matthew Oakey
This report describes the specification and methodology for the mapping and recording followed by an overview of selected results from the Hadrian's Wall National Mapping Programme (NMP) project . The project ran from 1 June 2002–15 July 2008 and encompasses the entire area of the Hadrian's Wall World Heritage Site (WHS) and its immediate hinterland. It covers 69 Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 scale quarter sheets spanning the counties of Cumbria, Northumberland and Tyne and Wear. Digital maps at a nominal scale of 1:10,000 and supporting records were created by English Heritage's Aerial Survey & Investigation teams based in York and Swindon. The project identified and mapped sites varying in date from a potential Neolithic henge through to 20th-century military remains. New records were made for 2748 sites and a further 806 existing records were enhanced.
