We recently undertook high-resolution 3D laser scanning as part of the Northumberland and Durham Rock Art Project run by Dr. Tertia Barnett of Northumberland County Council and funded by English Heritage. We scanned three panels in Northumberland: Ketley Crag, Chatton Park 1, Huntersheugh and two in County Durham: Howgill and Cotherstone.

3D Laser Scan of Ketley Crag

This round of scanning will act in conjunction with high-accuracy GPS data as a baseline for monitoring any degradation to the surfaces of these irreplaceable works of art.
