Ramsey Island: New survey finds 'Bronze Age' site


The laser scan of Ramsey Island uncovered a "hidden" landscape thought to date back to the Bronze Age.

The survey, taken from the air, has also seen a detailed 3D model of the two mile-long beauty spot made for the first time.

Experts say the data could also be used to see if climate change affects the environment on the island.

Royal Commission archaeologist Dan Hunt described the findings as "incredible".

He added: "It has presented us with a stunning view of the island in enormous detail."

"Experts say the data could also be used to see if climate change affects the environment on the island."
"The survey was commissioned as part of the new EU funded Ireland-Wales project called CHERISH (Climate Heritage and Environments of Reefs, Islands and Headlands), which looks at investigating climate change and coastal heritage."

Cherish. Affects-the-environment (I wonder what the answer will be...). EU. Brilliant!

I never knew we had reefs on our coastlines..... trouble is, CHERISH represents the politically correct namby pamby world we are living in now and no it will not actually have any solution for climatic erosion...... moss Posted by moss
