Scope and Content All structures were recorded on to a database following standard RCAHMS practice (RCAHMS 1994); these were then cross-referenced to an overlay of the 1:10,000 map by means of a number tag. The overlay was created using AUTOCAD, with colour coding of the different types of feature. The grid references of individual structures were also calculated on AUTOCAD and transferred to the survey database (MAR93) by merging the file of grid references created on AUTOCAD with the database on DBASEIV, thus removing any possibility of typographical error. A hard copy of the ALS database is deposited, along with the field-map overlay, in the NMRS, providing the basic survey data, to which the entries in the NMRS ORACLE database refer. Some 608 structures were located, mapped and recorded, and sixteen 1:10,000 overlays were created to depict them and other associated features. This database is available available as both a manuscript (MS 731/10) and as this delimited text file (csv).
