Derwent Valley Lidar

Lidar survey again, and the Derwent Valley again, but somewhat further north than the extract posted earlier, this time at Belper. Same river, different project. Assessing the existing Environment Agency lidar coverage as part of the DerwentWISE Landscape Partnership Project. Nothing much of archaeological interest leaping out so far. The Roman road from Derby (Littlechester) to Buxton is meant to cross the river (east to west) near to the southern edge of this plot, ascending the slope on the west bank (at least according to one theory). I'd like to say the lidar helps prove it one way or the other. Sadly, I can't.
