TVAS News: Eysey Manor Quarry Aerial Photos

Following fruitful excavations at Eysey Manor Quarry Phase 5 a series of high-level photos were commissioned to provide an aerial perspective of the findings. The resulting images clearly show the enclosures, ditches and post-built Saxon hall and will assist in the interpretation of the landscape as it changed through time.

These high-level shots were taken using a camera elevated on the top of a long telescopic pole. The image (bottom right) showing the vehicle gives a view of the mechanism from above (note - this image was taken during a previous phase of excavations, Phase 5 is actually located in the field just visible in the lower left corner of the photo).
