Inspired by the difficulties in visiting churches and other historic sites during the Coronavirus pandemic, The British Archaeological Association looked at ways of promoting the use of digital technology to allow them to be seen even during a lockdown, or for those far distant. The Association held a competition to produce a short video/photographic presentation of a Roman or medieval site (a building, ruin, even a town) using remote mapping and imaging systems such as Google Earth, or Google Earth Studio.
