These data comprise a systematic search for all vertebrate fauna on each of the surveyed plots in Litchfield National Park in 2016. A total of 220 permanent monitoring plots were established between 1994-2002 across three parks (Kakadu, Litchfield and Nitmiluk) in the Top End of the Northern Territory, representing the Three Parks Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network. A detailed flora and fauna survey has been conducted at each plot on a 5-6 year cycle to monitor biotic changes. Litchfield National Park contains 40 plots. In 2016, 20 plots were surveyed for terrestrial vertebrate fauna using a range of survey methods. In addition, at all plots sampling also occurred at a second plot directly adjacent to the traditional plot. At each paired plot 3 x 15 minute active searches were conducted within the standard 50 x 50 m trapping grid during daylight hours at different times of the day (morning, midday and late afternoon) during the 4 day period. A record of ‘X’ indicates identification of species from tracks or scats. A synopsis of related data packages which have been collected as part of the Three Park Savanna Fire-effects Plot Network’s full program is provided at http://www.ltern.org.au/index.php/ltern-plot-networks/three-parks-savanna
