Hi,
Your data is probably already in a ASCII raster format. You can open it
via the raster menu. Lidar can also be in an ASCII point cloud
format. In that case, I would generate the raster using cloud compare,
also open source. There are many ways of generating that is Qgis but
cloud compare will give you the best bang for the buck (free!). Then you
can import the raster in Qgis.
Being a professional archaeologist extensively using lidar, I would be happy
help out if you have questions (as long as your research ethics are top notch.)
Have fun!

Hello,
I am new to GIS and have downloaded QGIS Essen. My intention as an
amateur archaeologist was to use free LiDAR elevation data from the UK
Environment Agency which is supplied in the ASCII format. Is there a
method of generating a raster from ASCII using QGIS/Grass/Saga? Or
alternatively any other open source software to do this before loading
the new raster into QGIS?
Regards, David Burton.
