Charterhouse environs lidar

A lidar image of the area around Charterhouse Roman town on the Mendip Hills. To the north-west is the amphitheatre (A) associated with the settlement. To the south-east are faint traces of the Roman road (B) running just below the hedge line. In the bottom centre is the Roman fortlet (C), not to be confused with the sub-rectangular enclosure (D) of probable medieval or later date overlying the remains of the Roman town. The image is colour shaded according to height (ranging from red - high to blue – low) and the height has been exaggerated to emphasise the features. © English Heritage.
