UAV survey data from Clifton Camp (ST56557330) V2

This is the current version of this dataset, replacing http://dx.doi.org/10.6084/m9.figshare.1269223 This data was collected via low-altitude UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) survey of an area of Clifton Camp (ST565557330), best known for its Iron Age promontory fort. The dataset comprises of metadata records, near-vertical photographs and a derived 3D polygonal mesh.This dataset has been constructed with two kinds of reuse in mind: Firstly, the area surveyed is culturally rich and underexplored; while some of the non-natural features detected by this survey can be identified, others cannot. These features include:Excavations believed to relate to Brunel’s unfinished reservoir of 1845 (see area marked as ‘2’ in 3D_mesh_derived_images/features-of-interest.tif).A rectilinear feature believed to be an animal enclosure (marked as ‘1’ in features-of-interest.tif - the later reservoir pipeline can be seen cutting through, diagonally).Several other, unidentified, non-natural features (for example see area marked as ‘3’ in features-of-interest.tif) are suggested by the results of this survey.This data is intended to inform future investigations of the site.Secondly, the survey methodologies employed and the structuring of the resulting dataset are intended to act as an exemplar, a standard method of organising similar UAV survey datasets to ensure maximum re-usability.
