Fylingdales Moor Rock Art

English Heritage summaries. 2004/2005

EH Project Number:	3945MAIN
Funded Unit:	Blaise Vyner Consultancy

Principal Project Aims

The principal aim is to ensure a detailed and accurate record of a representative sample of the rock art on Fylingdales Moor through the application of stereo photography and laser scanning.

Anticipated results

The project will result in stereo photographic imagery of a sample of 26 decorated rocks (rock art) on Fylingdales Moor. Additionally, 12 of these will be the subject of laser scanning.

The record will be archived with EH NMR and Whitby Museum, and consideration will be given to deposition with ADS.

It is not proposed to make any further use of the information within the recording project itself, but it will be available for use in order to:

To compare with other rock art in North Yorkshire and elsewhere

To further explore the evidence for the design and creation of the rock art motifs      

To provide a baseline record of condition against which to assess erosion and damage in future years

To provide information on the rock art through a variety of media - including the NYMNPA Historic Environment Record, but also potentially including on-line access to the imagery.
