The archaeologists have been expanding beyond Burnswark, studying LiDAR data (pictured) from the surrounding 579 square miles (1,500 km2) with the support of the British Academy
 

Using LiDAR technology, archaeologists are better understanding the framework of indigenous peoples at the time of the Roman occupation north of Hadrian’s Wall.

 

More than 130 new indigenous settlements have been discovered north of Hadrian's Wall from the time of Rome's occupation.

Although part of the area had been extensively studied in the past, the team discovered 134 previously unrecorded Iron Age settlements in the region, bringing the total to over 700

Here is another article about the research on the indigenous dwellings of the peoples beyond Hadrian’s Wall:

“The new study initially focused specifically on Burnswark – home to the greatest concentration of Roman projectiles ever found in Britain, and a testament to the firepower of Rome’s legions.

The research team went on to scour an area of 580 square miles beyond the hillfort, using the latest laser-scanning technology.”

Although much of the area had been studied before, researchers found 134 previously unrecorded Iron Age settlements — bringing the total number known in the region to more than 700.”
