Virtual Stonehenge: A LiDAR Survey Flythrough


A Virtual Stonehenge Landscape from Wessex Archaeology on Vimeo.


Its not urban but is so nice that its worth making an exception to look at the results of a LiDAR survey around the area of Stonehenge.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.

The movie was produced by Tom Goskar from Wessex Archaeology

To find out more technical information about the survey, visit the Stonehenge LiDAR section of the English Heritage website.

See Tom's blog entry for more information.

  1. Nice One !!! For me the advantage of Lidar on Larger Site is that can be cheaper than ground based methods and most of all the data is can be collected in a very short time. It will make the job easier.

  4. It's been weeks since I started making a research about Lidar Technology and I find it really nice and such a big help into this modern world. It helps a certain project achives it fullest success in getting important information especially in mapping and sensing. Plus on what I see now in the video, whew... ohh Lidar .. you're a hero.

  7. Lidar Technology is best for survey because of it's advantages like Higher Accuracy, Fast acquisition and processing, Minimum human dependence, weather/Light independence, Canopy penetration and higher data density.
