Abstract:		 LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging) is an aerial surveying technique that enables the creation of a digital surface model of the land. Computer processing of the data can be applied to digitally remove any trees present to reveal the underlying terrain; useful in disclosing landscape and earthwork features in woodland, which are difficult to detect using more traditional field or aerial survey techniques. A survey of Savernake has revealed a large number of previously unrecorded features of archaeological potential including a number of earthworks, field systems, other boundary banks, lynchets, and route-ways. Comparison with known features suggest that a number are of ancient origin, but other earthworks within Savernake were created over a long period of time, up to and including World War II. It should be noted that some features may be of modern origin, or given an appearance of solidity when in fact they are due to changes in vegetation.
