Burnswark/Middlebie, Scotland, United Kingdom. Iron Age and Roman Landscapes in Southwest Scotland. Research Work between 2020 and 2021

Resumo

As part of a British Academy funded project from 2020 to 2021, the University of Edinburgh, Historic Environment Scotland and the Romano-Germanic Commission of the DAI carried out research between the hillfort of Burnswark and the Roman fort of Birrens in eastern Dumfriesshire, Scotland. As part of the project, the collaborators undertook magnetometry surveys at different scales, which were analysed in combination with LiDAR data, aerial photographs and the datasets from the Scottish National Record of the Historic Environment. This work is supporting a better understanding of the settlement dynamics in this landscape during the early centuries AD.
