The Stonehenge Landscape Project: Recent Analytical survey and investigation in the World Heritage Site. A lecture by David Field on Saturday, 10 December 2011 from 2:30 pm at the Wiltshire Heritage Museum, Devizes.

In advance of the establishment of a new visitor centre and to complement and support the recent university programmes of excavation in the area, English Heritage has been conducting the Stonehenge WHS Landscape Project to determine what non-destructive survey techniques can tell us about the area. Using ground survey, aerial photography, lidar and laser scanning a number of fresh and sometimes surprising conclusions emerge. This talk will outline the results so far.
