Brú Na Bóinne is about 8km inland from Drogheda and describes an area between the towns of Slane and Drogheda where the River Boyne meanders into a dramatic loop or bend. Brú na Bóinne – the palace or the mansion of the Boyne – is the name given to one of the world’s most important archaeological landscapes, dominated by the spectacular prehistoric passage tombs of Newgrange, Knowth and Dowth.

- Fixed wing Lidar Survey. The ALTM 3100 instrument is mounted on a fixed wing platform leased 365 days per year by the Agency as it forms the core mapping work undertaken. This system will be used for the proposed contract. LIDAR data will be collected at an altitude of approximately 900m, which with a scan angle of +/- 20º will result in a swath of 750m. LIDAR data will be collected at a density of approximately 1m resolution or one point per square metre. All GPS ground data is collected and processed using the in-house developed and quality assured procedures EASGT_019 and EASGT_020.
