It also describes the specification, methodology and scope of the project. This study forms part of the National Mapping Programme (NMP) and comprises eight whole and six part Ordnance Survey 1:10,000 scale quarter sheets totalling 300sq km. The aerial survey and mapping ran from 5 October 2011 to 3 October 2012. Digital maps and supporting records were created by English Heritage’s Aerial Investigation & Mapping team based in York. The project identified and mapped sites ranging from the Neolithic to the 21st century. New records were made for 794 sites and a further 135 existing records were enhanced.
