The smaller scale image doesn't really do this justice. This is extracted from Environment Agency 0.25m centred lidar survey data. Not much UK coverage at this scale, mostly very tightly focused on coastal zones and river valleys, but they do happen to have covered the site of Venta Silurum. The detail of the wall circuit and bastions, and of exposed Roman building foundations within the town, is quite amazing (for what is, essentially, an off-the-shelf product).
Here, the same expressed as a sky-view factor plot and viewed as a 3D model from the south-west.
