Durrington walls and the Stonehenge Hidden Landscape Project 2010–2016

The Stonehenge Hidden Landscapes Project (SHLP) has uncovered new insights into the structure and sequence of Durrington Walls, a major henge monument near Stonehenge. Through extensive archaeological prospection using remote sensing and geophysical surveys from 2010 to 2016, researchers revealed previously unknown landscape features and re-interpreted known monuments. Notably, they identified a hidden site within the Durrington Walls complex, providing novel perspectives on its construction and use. This integrated approach allowed for large-scale mapping and reinterpretation of the monument's context, enhancing understanding of this enigmatic Neolithic site.
