    Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report December 2017 Front cover. Lidar image of the site of Deerbolt Training Camp, now occupied by Deerbolt Prison, just west of Barnard Castle (Area 1 in this survey). Little if any sign of the First World War camp survives above ground, though earthworks of a contemporary rifle range do survive, and have been recorded on lidar, on the south bank of the Deepdale Beck, to the west. This image demonstrates something of the time-depth of the historic landscape here, with ridge- and-furrow field-systems, some of which date from medieval times, clearly visible. Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report Contents Acknowledgements 1. Introduction 2. Methodology 3. Results 4. Discussion Appendix References 1 Durham at War Lidar Landscapes Project Report Acknowledgements First and foremost, thanks are due to the volunteers who undertook the survey work: D Armstrong, Chris and Audrey Battersby, Barbara Chipchase, Paul Cordes, David Donkin, John Goldsborough, and J P Merrington.

It was designed to serve two purposes. First, to enable volunteers with an interest in landscape archaeology to familiarise themselves with lidar and its use in archaeological survey.
