Roman sites in the lower Nene Valley

First draft of a map showing Roman sites in the general area of our ongoing excavations at Oundle near Peterborough. Perhaps what many would call the 'middle' Nene (at least I'm sure the Middle Nene Archaeological Group would), though from my point of view once the river hits Peterborough and enters the Fenland it's a whole different story. Topographic mapping using the OS Panorama dataset. Sites of Roman villas etc taken from a variety of (paper) sources and in need of checking (the villa at Cotterstock was clearly in the wrong place when dropped onto the topographic background, so I have doubts about others). Revised version in due course. This may do for our open day on the 16th June.
