ND 0138 6585 (centred on) A LiDAR survey was carried out in September 2011 of 85sqkm surrounding Baillie Hill. Analysis of the dataset has identified c300 unrecorded structures, including over 80 possible hut circles, over 50 ruined buildings and a large number of agricultural remains of all periods. The results of the project are being prepared for public presentation on a dedicated website.

Data collection was carried out by Fugro BKS Ltd. The data was collected using a Riegl LMS-Q680 (LiteMapper 6800) scanner mounted on a fixed-wing aircraft, at a resolution of no less than 7 points per square metre. The raw data was subject to four stages of initial quality control processing prior to supply as raw ASCII point datasets, in 1x1km tiles.
