Chilterns Conservation BoardChilterns are one of 46 AONBs in UK, established in 1965
CCB established by Parliamentary Order in 2004
• To conserve and enhance natural beauty
• To promote understanding and enjoyment of special qualities
• To promote social and economic well being

The Beacons of the Past project3.5 years, part HLF Funded, part matched funding from the Chiltern Society, the National Trust, local county and parish councils, and private donors.
Three aims or “beacons” – discovery, learning, protection.
LiDAR survey as key component
Focus on the Iron Age hillforts of the Chilterns

Hillforts of the Chilterns*
*Not all hillforts…

Chilterns hillforts are varied

Pulpit Hillfort Small (< 1 ha.) Bivallate

Why so varied?
A British Holocene Calendar – Hillforts are constructed largely from end of September to Late October, a greater chunk of time than what separated the 1940s prefab from Windsor Castle – yet we could label both as ‘houses’. This highlights the difficulty of the label ‘hillfort!

What is LiDAR?“Light Detection and Ranging”, aka “Airborne Laser Scanning”
A survey technique developed in the 1960s, and first used in meteorology. Used in 1971 by the Apollo 15 astronauts to map the surface of the moon.
Used since the turn of the millennium for archaeology: Discovery of new sites; Increased knowledge and better locational accuracy of known sites;Visualisation of features thought destroyed by ploughing; Filtering of vegetation for survey in woodland.

What is LiDAR?A plane flying across a landscape, with a laser scanner sending pulses of light down to the ground, and sensing the reflections from whatever those pulses hit.
Up to 1 MHz pulse rate.100-200 Hz scan rate (side to side).
Combination of:GPS (global positioning system)IMU (inertial measurement unit)plus sensor calculations of time taken for pulses to be reflected
… gives us accurate 3D location for everything off which the laser bounces.
