Non-invasive survey in the Stonehenge ‘Triangle’, Amesbury, Wiltshire, has highlighted a number of features that have a significant bearing on the interpretation of the site. Geophysical anomalies may signal the position of buried stones adding to the possibility of former stone arrangements, while laser scanning has provided detail on the manner in which the stones have been dressed; some subsequently carved with axe and dagger symbols. The probability that a lintelled bluestone trilithon formed an entrance in the north-east is signposted. This work has added detail that allows discussion on the question of whether the sarsen circle was a completed structure, although it is by no means conclusive in this respect. Instead, it is suggested that it was built as a façade, with other parts of the circuit added and with an entrance in the south.

Integrated non-invasive survey in the Stonehenge ‘triangle’, Amesbury, Wiltshire, has highlighted a number of features that have a significant bearing on the interpretation of the site. Among them are periglacial and natural topographical structures, including a chalk mound that may have influenced site development. Some geophysical anomalies are similar to the post-holes in the car park of known Mesolithic date, while others beneath the barrows to the west may point to activity contemporary with Stonehenge itself. Evidence that the ‘North Barrow’ may be earlier in the accepted sequence is presented and the difference between the eastern and western parts of the enclosure ditch highlighted, while new data relating to the Y and Z Holes and to the presence of internal banks that mirror their respective circuits is also outlined.

Stonehenge is perhaps the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. Begun as a simple earthwork enclosure, it was built in several stages with the unique lintelled stone circle being erected in the Neolithic period around 2,500 BC. Today Stonehenge, together with Avebury and other associated sites, forms the heart of a World Heritage Site (WHS) with a unique and dense concentration of outstanding prehistoric monuments. In 2011 English Heritage embarked on a new survey of the monument using a range of geospatial imaging techniques. Undertaken by the Greenhatch Group, a commercial survey company based near Derby, they used a combination of laser scanning and photogrammetric approaches to generate the scale and detailed level of outputs required by English Heritage. This paper will describe the background to this project and its context within previous survey activities at the site. It will explain the data acquisition technology and processes undertaken on site, the datasets derived from post-processin...

Stonehenge is perhaps the most famous prehistoric monument in the world. Begun as a simple earthwork enclosure, it was built in several stages with the unique lintelled stone circle being erected in the Neolithic period in around 2,500 BC. Today Stonehenge, together with Avebury and other associated sites, form the heart of a World Heritage Site (WHS) with a unique and dense concentration of outstanding prehistoric monuments. In 2011 English Heritage (EH) embarked on a new survey of the monument. Undertaken by the Greenhatch Group, a commercial survey company based near Derby, a combination of laser scanning and photogrammetric approaches were used to generate the required scale and detailed level of output required by English Heritage. This paper will describe the background to this project and its context within previous survey activities at this World Heritage Site. It will explain the data acquisition technology and processes undertaken on site, the datasets derived from post-processing and their filtering and analysis within both subsequent research projects. Alongside a description of how the data is currently being exploited and proposed future applications within the conservation and management of the site, it will finish by considering the impact of developing geospatial imaging technologies.

... The methods and tools used for surveying, as well as for visualization and analysis, are now within reach not only for the research community but also for the initiatives of stakeholders of various types [3]. In addition to photogrammetric surveying, the creation of 3D models of historical buildings and minor architecture in various application contexts such as architecture, urban planning, archaeology, and art history, among others, is well known and practiced [4]. These efforts also aim at the representation, preservation, or simulation of reconstructive hypotheses even in the absence of original artifacts. ...

... One of the remarkable features about Stonehenge, however, is that some of the stones used in its construction are derived from far afield and show the maximum transport distance known from source to construction anywhere in the world . These far-travelled stones, known as the bluestones, are the smaller stones at Stonehenge, albeit still being up to an estimated 3.7 tonnes (data from Abbott and Anderson-Whymark, 2012;Field et al., 2015) and up to ca. 2.6 m in height (data from Cleal et al., 1995), excluding the Altar Stone. The bluestones contrast with the much larger sarsen stones, which are of relatively local derivation (Nash et al., 2020). ...

... From iconic World Heritage sites such as Stonehenge (Bryan, Abbott, and Dodson 2013), Alcatraz (Warden et al. 2013), and the Roman Forum (Krusche 2018) to the recording of everyday, vernacular buildings (Fortenberry 2018), graphic documentation using digital tools is at the core of many of these centers' deployment of these technologies. Indeed, many of these centers have longstanding relationships with institutions such as the National Park Service, HABS, or with international partners such as the World Monuments Fund, UNESCO, and ICOMOS, providing research capacity and service support from the academy. ...

... In turn, the use of such non-destructive techniques to detail activities at these prehistoric sites is very much in keeping with current governmental guidelines concerning the investigation of scheduled monuments-such as that discussed below-with its emphasis upon 'preservation of the monument in situ' (Department for Culture Media and Sport, 2013, p. 8[19]). This has led to huge advances in our knowledge of major protected British Neolithic sites and/or entire landscapes through the application of various geophysical techniques, not least in the area of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites of Stonehenge and Avebury (e.g., Field et al., 2014;Gaffney et al., 2020;Pollard et al., 2012). ...
