Archaeological Measured Survey on Scotland's national forest estate,
published Inverness: Forestry Commission Scotland / Coimisean na
Coilltearachd Alba (2012), includes two sites of interest for mining
history and archaeology in Scotland - Woodmuir Coke Ovens (West
Lothian) and the Wilsontown Ironworks (Lanarkshire). The publication
provides brief details on the results from measured surveys carried
out using laser technology. In the case of the Woodmuir site that was
detailed work producing high quality 3D imagery. At Wilsontown it is
the product of a wider LiDAR survey
The report should eventually be available in PDF format on the
Forestry Commission Scotland web-site where you can also view more
detail on both sites.
