In June and September 2024, Cotswold Archaeology carried out an Earthwork Survey and Archaeological Impact Assessment at Bishop’s Dyke Park Pale, a Scheduled Monument in the New Forest, Hampshire, on behalf of Forestry England.
The project involved a UAV photographic and lidar survey, focusing on an existing breach within the bank of the dyke. This was to be the subject of safeguarding works to provide a protected crossing point on the monument which was to be used by machinery enabling vital wetland restoration work. Following the safeguarding works, the site was re-visited to assess what impact the newly installed crossing point had on the monument.
