It's a bit weird how much stuff we just plough over in the UK.
Here's a Roman "fort" (probably not a fort) in Google Maps. The square bit in a field near the middle of the image (South of "Tunnel House Inn").

It's weird to me that we have this site and we're happy to just lose all that stuff.
Here's a link for this villa near Coates, and for Vindolanda, the fort shown in the featured article, using a rendering in which I've tried to emphasise the fine detail, from my map as mentioned in the above linked thread;

Cool. One can probably estimate the age of an area by the irregularity of the field perimeters. In the central and west US those would be rectangular.
I wonder if and hidden roads with stones are left.
