Neolithic 'stop sign' comprehensively laser scanned



A carved wooden post that archaeologists have dubbed ‘Britain’s oldest no-entry sign’ has undergone 3D laser scanning to see whether it can reveal any more Neolithic secrets.

The five-foot-long post was discovered on a remote South Wales hillside during excavations for a new windfarm. Richard Scott Jones, an archaeologist from Heritage Recording Services Wales, has said that the post would have been used to mark the boundary of a tribal area and described the find as “like winning the lottery”.
