Is that Avebury?
- Mikushi 6y agoCorrect, you can see Silbury hill as well as a few of the barrows in the area.
- mikhailfranco 6y agoYes, here is Stonehenge: https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map?ref=SU11914213 https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map?ref=SU11914213 Glastonbury Tor 3D: https://houseprices.io/lidar/ST5125038630/3d https://houseprices.io/lidar/ST5125038630/3d Maiden Castle: https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map?ref=SY669884 https://houseprices.io/lab/lidar/map?ref=SY669884

- mikhailfranco 6y agoI have now added these images to wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Tor#Terraces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glastonbury_Tor#Terraces https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avebury#Location_and_environment https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avebury#Location_and_environme... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittenham_Clumps#Location https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wittenham_Clumps#Location https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Castle,_Dorset#First_hill_fort https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maiden_Castle,_Dorset#First_hi... I think the inclusion for Glastonbury Tor is particularly useful, because the LIDAR perfectly shows the terraces that were already discussed in that section of the article. In the past, I have scanned many hand-drawn (engraving) pictures in Victorian tomes of County Histories in my local library, to get topographies of hillfort sites for Wikipedia (mainly in the SW of England). I will now start to add these LIDAR images. Better to scan the ground itself than to scan a print of an engraving of a hand-drawn picture by some tweed-jacketed Victorian archaeology dude. If hanoz has any issues with the copyright attributions and CC BY 4.0 license on wikicommons, I would be glad to correct any mistakes, or add more praise for the glorious hanoz :)
