Archaeological Measured Survey on Scotland's National Forest Estate

This fully illustrated archaeological booklet presents the results of recent archaeological measured survey work across Scotland’s National Forest Estate. The publication aims to showcase the range of work that we commission – and to highlight the benefits of such surveys in supporting sustainable conservation management. The sites range from Neolithic stone circles to the coastal defences of WW2 - and the surveys include some pioneering developments.

Summary

In order to protect the many archaeological sites, historic structures and cultural landscapes across Scotland’s national forest estate, we must identify and assess their surviving remains to inform conservation and management.

Ranging from plane table survey using alidade and tape to laser scans located using GPS satellite technology, our surveys are united in their efforts to present the results in an attractive and coherent manner.
