This is on Stone 53, on the short side in the gap towards 54. Not a good picture but there are shapes which have been pecked out of the surface. Hopefully the Laser scan will give us a clearer picture of this and the other discoveries.

Rock Art at Stonehenge
The results from the Laser surface scan of the stones of Stonehenge should be released soon. A little bird toells me that they have found a lot of interesting marks!

Hi Tim
ReplyDeleteAre there any preliminary indications of what the shapes are? (I can see a 'horse' in the bottom left hand corner.. but that might just be lichen).
Do you know if the laser scan raw data will be made publicly available?
It looks like another axe-head to me, but yes - it's a poor photo.
ReplyDeleteI suspect lichen for Mr Morris' "horse".
I hadn't noticed the horse before - though I think it looks more like a dog, but just lichen I think. I don't have any more info. I will try and get a better photo when the opportunity presents itself. But there are definite pecked areas on the stone.
