Preliminary results of LIDAR surveys conducted in the Bilsk microregion in 2024 are published in the paper. The work was carried out within the territorial boundaries of Poltava (Kotelva and Opishnia village councils of Poltava district) and Sumy (Hrun’ village council of Okhtyrka district) regions. The territory with sites within the current boundaries of Kotelva and Opishia village councils of Poltava district (Poltava region) and Hrun’ village council of Okhtyrka district (Sumy region) were explored. The total area of the surveyed territories is over 600 hectares. The surveys were conducted using a drone and a handheld LIDAR scanner. In the course of the work, 7 sections of the defensive structures of the Great (Velyke) fortification of the Bilsk hillfort, as well as the two largest and most informative components of the fortress — the Western (Zahidne) and Eastern (Shidne) fortifications — were explored. The Kuzemin fortification was surveyed. In the area of the Bilsk hillfort, the surveys covered the territory of the Kotelva hillfort, as well as the Velykyi Skorobir and Malyi Skorobir maidans. Based on the results of the research, updated cartographic materials were compiled, and areas (zones) promising for further archaeological research were identified. The survey materials will become the basis for further land surveying work in the Bilsk microregion and will also be used to develop an updated passport for the Сomplex of sites of the territory and districts of the Bilsk hillfort. Based on the results of the research, the conclusions about the importance of using the LIDAR method on the territories of archaeological sites were drawn. This method was particularly effective in forested areas. In this regard, it will continue to be used on the territory of the Bilsk hillfort and sites of the district, in accordance with best European practices.
