 The challenge of discovering lost monuments and vacant space around the stone circle was one of the Hidden Landscapes projects. It's called Objectives. Sector¹ after sector was scanned, but nothing was detected. Finally, less than a kilometre to the northwest, the archaeologists picked up signals of something unexpected.-I'm standing² on a small mount about 900 metres away from Stonehenge. It's called aims 50. It's been known for quite a long time. It's one of several hundred mounts in the media for simply Stonehenge. But the Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project is being able to use new technologies in a way that gives us new insights into this mount and the structures that lie beneath it.

The high resolution equipment detected far more detail hidden beneath the mount.

-It was really quite exciting when we looked at this data for the first time. First of all, you just saw the ditches around the mount, but it was only through a minute that we start to realize that inside the ditches there are whole theories of large pits p*, and they were completely unexpected.
