Cain Hegarty and Katherine Toms will be examining more than 15,000 aerial images of Exmoor. Cain suggests the research could double the number of sites currently on the Sites and Monuments Record.
The survey has been set up by English Heritage and will use photographs from local archives and a Cambridge University collection – with some images dating back to the 1940s.
The results “will be showcased at a forum in 2008 and plans for a book are also under discussion”.
