Laser Scan to be Conducted for the Hidden Stonehenge Clues

Stonehenge is being scanned using modern laser technology to search for hidden clues about how and why it was built.

All visible faces of the standing and fallen stones, many of which are obscured by lichen, will be surveyed. Some ancient carvings have previously been found on the stones, including a famous Neolithic "dagger". The survey is already in progress and is expected to finish by the end of March.

The team will be looking for ancient "rock art", but also for more modern graffiti, in a comprehensive survey of the site.

Among those who have left their mark in the stones is "Wren" - thought to be Sir Christopher Wren, the architect who designed London's St Paul's Cathedral.

The new survey will be the most accurate digital model ever for the world famous prehistoric monument, measuring details and irregularities on the stone surfaces to a resolution of 0.5mm. The previous survey in 1993 was photographic, and only measured to an accuracy of about 2cm.
