This pilot study was designed to explore direct sensory ways of perceiving landscape, and to digitally record those explorations. The investigators felt the best type of landscape for this purpose would be a fairly unspoilt prehistoric one, and they selected as their primary study area the Carn Menyn ridge in the Preseli Hills of South-West Wales, reputed source of the Stonehenge bluestones, and environs.

The two sensory modes chosen were vision, and, especially, sound, as investigator Wozencroft is Senior Tutor in sound and moving image in the Visual Communication programme at the RCA as well as founder and editor of the music publishers, Touch. It was the aim to try to observe and listen to this prehistoric landscape as if with Stone Age eyes and ears. In the process, it was hoped that some of these perceptions would have archaeological interest.
