[(Title)] Heatwave reveals England's lost prehistoric sites.

The heatwave has continued to reveal details of England's ancient past to archaeologists.

热浪继续向考古学家揭示英国古代史的细节。

Surveys from the air have revealed Neolithic ceremonial monuments, Iron Age settlements, square burial mounds and a Roman farm for the first time.

从空中进行的调查首次揭示了新石器时代的仪式纪念碑，铁器时代的定居点、方形墓葬和罗马农场。

Historic England said the weather "provided the perfect conditions" to see the crop marks because of the lack of moisture in the soil.

英格兰历史建筑和古迹委员会表示，由于土壤中缺乏水分，天气“为提供作物标记提供了完美的条件”。

They include two Neolithic monuments discovered near Milton Keynes.

它们还包括米尔顿凯恩斯附近发现的两座新石器时期的纪念碑。

The long rectangles near Clifton Reynes are thought to be paths or processional ways dating from 3600 to 3000BC, one of the oldest of their type in the country.

克利夫顿雷纳斯附近的大长方形被认为是公元前3600年至公元前3000年的道路或出行方式，是该国最古老的道路之一。

恩舍姆附近的仪式景观有几处有特点的遗迹，位于牛津西北部几英里处，可追溯到公元前4000年至公元前700年。

Duncan Wilson, chief executive of Historic England, said: "The discovery of ancient farms, settlements and Neolithic cursus monuments is exciting.

英格兰历史建筑和古迹委员会首席执行官邓肯·威尔逊表示：“古代农场、定居点和新石器时期古迹的发现令人振奋。”

"The exceptional weather has opened up whole areas at once rather than just one or two fields and it has been fascinating to see so many traces of our past graphically revealed."

“异常的天气一下子打开了整个地区，而不仅仅是一两个地方。看到这么多过去的痕迹都被图形化了，这、真是令人着迷。”

Historic England uses aerial photography of crop marks to produce archaeological maps to help determine the significance of buried remains.

历史上，英格兰历史建筑和古迹委员会曾利用空中摄影作物标志制作考古地图，帮助确定埋葬遗骸的意义。

This can help when making decisions about protecting them from future development or damage caused by ploughing.

Aerial investigation and mapping manager Helen Winton said: "This is the first potential bumper year in what feels like a long time.

航空调查与制图主管海伦·温顿说：“感觉这是第一个会持续很长时间的丰收年。”

"It is very exciting to have hot weather for this long. 2011 was the last time we had an exceptional year when we discovered over 1,500 sites, with most on the claylands of eastern England."

“这么长时间的天气炎热是非常令人兴奋的。2011年是我们最后一次发现超过1,500个地点，其中大部分位于英格兰东部的粘土地区。”
