The mine was surveyed by Hydrock. They provided Oxford Archaeology with CAD drawings showing the locations of pillars, shafts, and the modern roadways. Plans of the mine were printed out at a scale of 1:100. The printouts were traced over, and archaeology hand drawn on. Measurements were taken using a Leica Distance Measurer (Disto) and hand tapes. The pillars, shafts and roadways provided a means to locate the archaeology within the CAD drawing.
The archaeology was digitised in CAD. Once completed, shapefiles were exported, and imported in to GIS. GIS was used to query the data to provide information, such as the locations of frig bob saws, and chips.
