The three year project brought together an enthusiastic group of volunteers who were advised and trained by experts in archaeology, local history and landscape analysis. A wide range  of traditional and modern methods were utilised from simple field walking to the latest geophysics, from local history research to deciphering Latin manuscripts and from oral history to aerial photography. Previously unknown sites were investigated, recently sourced archives and maps were digitally recorded and comprehensive surveys were undertaken which led to new discoveries and a better understanding of the process of change from the remote past to the present day. The book about the project  was published in October 2008: Landscape Origins of the Wye Valley Edited by Heather Hurley Published by The River Wye Preservation Trust in association with Logaston Press 2008. 264pp 20.4 x 26 cm.
