Bored this half term? Have a look at New Forest Archaeology and the wonderful work they've been posting this week as part of #FestivalOfArchaeology Make sure you also visit nfknowledge.org and have a play with our overlaying maps!!

#LiDAR data allows us to create a detailed model of the earth’s surface, by allowing us to remove any tree cover and look at the topographical changes underneath. We can interpret this data to find unknown archaeology. Why not have a peruse of your local #NewForest area?

Help protect the incredible freshwater wildlife of the #NewForest 💙
