Withington Villa, Gloucestershire - UAV Surveys

Wessex Archaeology

Wessex Archaeology was commissioned to undertake metric and visual Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) surveys of a 19 ha parcel of land at Manor Hall, Withington, Gloucestershire, GL54 4BN, centred on NGR 403245 215038.

The surveyed area included part of the scheduled Withington Romano-British villa complex (NHLE 1003345). Prior to site attendance, permission was obtained from the neighbouring landowner to extend the survey to include an additional 7 ha area immediately to the south-west, centred on NGR 403152 214771, which incorporates the remainder of the scheduled area. The surveys were undertaken to create a visual record of the site, aid remote visualisation and improve understanding of the monument as it exists in the landscape.
