http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-22079835 Hundreds of miles away from Hadrian's Wall, a man surfing the internet from the comfort of his home stumbled across something that astonished the professionals. Bryn Gethin's discovery on his computer in Warwickshire, was one of a number, based on aerial photography and imaging techniques, that are rewriting a whole era of Roman history. He spotted something while browsing old LIDAR (light detection and ranging) images, which show remains even if covered by trees or buildings. Experts say he had potentially discovered the camp of the men who actually built the wall that runs across the country from Tyneside to Cumbria. Surveyor Humphrey Welfare, currently investigating the site, said the camp would not have been seen without aerial images. Makes me feel a bit silly: he's making genuine discoveries on his laptop, and I'm sat there looking up funny stuff on Google Maps .
