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.”
