Sites revealed by air photography is a designation encompassing multiple archaeological features in Cambridgeshire identified through aerial reconnaissance. The sites represent various periods of human settlement and land use, with evidence of prehistoric, Romano-British, and medieval occupation visible as cropmarks and soil marks from the air. Aerial archaeology has been instrumental in revealing the plans and extents of settlements, field systems, and other structures that are not easily discernible from ground level. These discoveries demonstrate the value of air photography as a tool for understanding the archaeological landscape of Cambridgeshire across multiple centuries.
