Description

A topographic survey was carried out by members of ARCH in July 2011 as part of community training excavation project on the mound and possible trackway at Foulis Estate, Kiltearn. Approximately 3000 points were collected using a Leica 705 TST to create a DTM of the mound and immediate surroundings. A digital linework plan was also created using this data. <1>
