Heritage
Baseline Survey |
|
|
|
As
originally agreed with the ESMG, a total of 10 days
(out of the 150 days for field surveys) were set
aside for heritage surveys. After further liaisons
with AMO and PlanD in an attempt to establish the
best use of the 10 survey days on heritage, it was
agreed that the 10-day effort can be used to digitise
the currently available records into the habitat
map GIS.

Digitisation
of Features of Heritage Value |
| |
|
|
Hardcopy
lists and plans of declared monuments, graded
historical buildings or structures and archaeological
sites were obtained from AMO through PlanD. The
locations of these identified sites were digitised
into the GIS.
All
heritage features were created using Lands Department
1:5,000 topographic data as an on screen backdrop.
It should be noted that the 1:5,000 data set only
became available during the last quarter of last
year.
-
Declared Monuments: These were digitised from
plans provided by the Antiquities and Monuments
Office (AMO) as point features using the ArcView
software product and converted into ArcInfo
format for use in map compilation. These have
been attributed with the monuments' name and
AMO's internal identifying number.
-
Deemed
Monuments: These were digitised from plans
provided by the Antiquities and Monuments
Office (AMO) as point features using the ArcView
software product and converted into ArcInfo
format for use in map compilation. These have
been attributed with the monuments' name and
AMO's internal identifying number.
-
Historic
Buildings: These were digitised from plans
provided by the Antiquities and Monuments
Office (AMO) as point features using the ArcView
software product and converted into ArcInfo
format for use in map compilation. These have
been attributed with AMO's reference number.
This will allow linking to other data about
the buildings which exists in digital format
but was not supplied to the consultant.
-
Archaeological
Sites: These were digitised from plans provided
by the Antiquities and Monuments Office (AMO)
as polygon features using the ArcView software
product and converted into ArcInfo format
for use in map compilation. These have been
attributed with Item Number, District Code,
Site Name and a map reference.
Heritage
records digitised into the GIS include:
Locations
of these valued heritage features are shown in
Figure 8.1a.

Heritage
Ranking |
| |
|
|
Based
on the information available for heritage ranking,
a "+" would be assigned to an area (a
polygon on the habitat map with boundary defined
by habitat type) where digitised record(s) of
Declared Monuments, Deemed Monuments, Listed Historical
Buildings/Structures or Archaeological Sites was/were
located. Polygons where any of these heritage
features had been located were given a "+"
as an indication of presence of heritage value.
(14)
As the findings of the survey were not made available
to the Study Team as of 1 November 1999 (a cut-off
date proposed in TR2), data records have not been
included onto the habitat map GIS.
(15) The Study Team has not received information
on this from AMO as of 1 November 1999 and therefore,
no data of this category has been mapped on the
habitat map.
