An overview is given of the ‘Landscape & Perception’ project (www.landscape- perception.com) being conducted under the auspices of the Royal College of Art, London, by Jon Wozencroft and Paul Devereux. This is an audio-visual field study of the Carn Menyn area of the Preseli Hills of south-west Wales, the origin landscape of the Stonehenge bluestones. It will be shown that the area is rich in sonic rocks. Some further examples of ringing rocks and lithophones elsewhere in the ancient world will be given, with brief references to their cultural contexts.
