The project\u2019s volunteers are working with Dr Jemma Bezant of the Sacred Landscapes project to learn how to harness the software\u2019s extensive potential. We\u2019re also collating and layering many publicly available maps, including Ordnance Survey, tithe maps, estate and enclosure maps, as well as Lidar images and curatorial information.<\/p>\n<p>The image below demonstrates how the GIS system helps us make sense of these various sources. It uses the 1st edition Ordnance Survey map as its base, with a section of the Surveyor\u2019s drawing of 1817 and a Lidar image. This is overlain by the definition of the Golon Grange boundary (green line), as identified by David Williams in his 2001 book The Welsh Cistercians, as well as the location of Gollon Manor and two nearby farms belonging to the abbey.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ba0f2b6 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ba0f2b6\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"711\" src=\"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/QGIS-image-2-1024x711.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-1008\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/QGIS-image-2-1024x711.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/QGIS-image-2-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/QGIS-image-2-768x534.jpg 768w, https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/QGIS-image-2.jpg 1245w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>geographical information system As part of our heritage research we are building a GIS for the abbey area.&nbsp; This will enable us to put any information that can be geographically located into a mapping system.&nbsp; We are at the early stage of the work, but we are already fascinated by the power of the GIS &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/geographical-information-system-gis\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Geographical Information System (GIS)<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/984"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=984"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/984\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2845,"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/984\/revisions\/2845"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/abbeycwmhir.org\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=984"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
