Stonehenge as recorded by LIDAR survey (airborne
3D scanning). Millions of measurements were taken
across the landscape, and here they have been
turned into a 'solid' computer model to show how well
the archaeology is recorded by this method.
Prehistoric burial mounds (barrows), the great Cursus
(a 2km Neolithic monument), the Bronze Age Avenue
which links Stonehenge to the River Avon, and other
henges such as Woodhenge and Durrington Walls are
all clearly visible.
It is possibly the first time that this data has been
shown in this way, at 1:1 with no reduction of data
quality to produce a perspective animation."
